✦ Synopsis

Relationships were sought between college students' retrospective reports of parental behavior and their R-S scores and MMPI profiles. In general, reports of greater parental rejection and greater covert parental control were found to be associated significantly with higher R-S scores and higher scores on a number of MMPI scales as well as greater overall elevation of MMPI profiles. Implications for clinical history taking were noted, and caution was urged in consideration of an individual's reports of past events and relationships.
