Abstract
Brief, reliable, and valid assessment instruments are very important for clinical psychology research and practice. The possible equivalency of a short form and the long form of the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List—Revised (MAACL‐R; Zuckerman & Lubin,1985) was studied by correlating both forms of the MAACL‐R with the State Trait Personality Inventory (Spielberger,1995); the Affect Balance Scale (Bradburn,1969); and the Sensation Seeking Scale (Zuckerman,1978). Reliability and validity of the two forms were equivalent. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psychol 57: 411–416, 2001.
