A GRADE-6 READING LEVEL KEY FOR THE MULTIPLE AFFECT ADJECTIVE CHECK LIST REVISED

A scoring key containing adjectves from the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List-Revised (MAACL-R) at or below the Grade 6 reading level (MA ACL-R6) was used to rescore data from two nonreferred samples (college students, ns=52 and 78) and one referred sample of 202 from a communi ty mental health center outpatient clinic. Reliability (measures of in ternal consistency and test-retest) and validity (correlations with fi ve 5-point self-rating mood scales) were almost as high as those for t he MAACL-R, and convergence among the MAACL-R6 scales was not increase d. Means for the referred group were significantly higher.
