Test-retest reliability of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale.

Test-retest reliabilities of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale over 1- and 5-wk. intervals were examined for two samples of students, 73 boys and 88 girls in regular sixth, seventh and eighth grade classrooms (11 yr. to 14 yr.). For raw scores the test-retest Pearson r was .88 (1-wk.) and .77 (5-wk.), indicating good reliability. For both samples there was a small difference between test (12.2 for 1-wk. sample; 11.4 for 5-wk. sample) and retest (11.2 for 1-wk. sample; 9.8 for 5-wk. sample) mean raw scores. Implications for test use are discussed.

Personality characteristics of delinquent subtypes.

A group of juvenile delinquents, classified as neurotic-disturbed, unsocialized-psychopathic, and socialized-subcultural, were compared on the MMPI. The results provided support for the initial classificaton and yielded MMPI profiles suggestive of two personality types: a conflicted, weak-ego delinquent with considerable intrapsychic conflict, and a more traditional posychopathic type, with little apparent anxiety or neurotic symptomatology. These results were replicated with a cross-validation sample.
