B. Lubin et al., A GRADE-6 READING LEVEL KEY FOR THE MULTIPLE AFFECT ADJECTIVE CHECK LIST REVISED, Perceptual and motor skills, 81(3), 1995, pp. 883-889
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.
