The article focuses on the repression-sensitization scale (RS scale). Work in the area of perceptual defense has led to the concept of a behavior dimension comprising psychological defenses ranging from repression to sensitization. Several scales of the MMPI have been found to be related to this dimension, and the present test consists of a combination of six of these scales. In a college population, the coefficient of internal consistency was found to be 88, and the coefficient of stability was also 88. A series of studies were undertaken in order to contribute to the establishment of concurrent and construct validity for the RS scale. It was found that the RS scale is negatively correlated with psychologist LP Ullmann's Facilitation-Inhibition scale, positively correlated with self-ideal discrepancy and with negative self description but unrelated to ideal-self descriptions, negatively correlated with the California F scale, positively related to the expression of sexual responses on the TAT for male Ss only and unrelated to the expression of aggression and emotionality for either sex, positively correlated with deviant-response bias on an Adjective Check List, and unrelated to measures of intellectual ability.
