Comparison of Two Scoring Methods for the Short Form of the Manifest Anxiety Scale and Eysenck's Extraversion (E) and Neuroticism (N) Scales

Abstract

83 undergraduates at the University of Texas (Austin) were administered two forms of the MAS, E, and N scales. One form called for traditional true/false responses (scored 2/1); the other, responses along a 6-point continuum (scored +3/–3). Correlations and reliability estimates for the scales under both conditions reflect the equivalence of the scoring methods.
