Abstract
The factorial stability and reliability of the 23-item s(hort)-EMBU previou sly demonstrated to be satisfactory in samples of students from Greece, Gua temala. Hungary and Italy, were extended with 791 students from East-German y and Sweden. Previous findings on factorial validity, internal reliability and correlations among scales were replicated. The 23-item form thus conti nues to be recommended as a reliable functional equivalent to the early 81- item EMBU, when the clinical and/or research context does nor adequately pe rmit application of time-consuming test batteries.
