Meaning of the Repression-Sensitization Scale: Defensive Style or Self-Report of Symptoms of Psychopathology.

Budd, Edward C.; Clopton, James R.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v41 n1 p63-68 Jan 1985

Results indicated that the R-S scale is influenced so powerfully by self-report of symptoms of psychopathology that its usefulness in assessing repression-sensitization is questionable. (BH)
