| Authors: | Heilbrun Alfred B. Jr. |
| Abstract: | A "maladjusted" group (100 college Ss) were compared to a sample of the university student body (206 Ss) and to the adjusted counseling group (100 Ss) using an adjective check list (Gough) on which each S described himself. The ACL results were compared with psychologists' judgments and showed considerable agreement. Sex differences were noted and related to a possible social desirability factor.
