Abstract
Responses to 3 items on marital satisfaction, 6 on Edmond's Marital Conventionalization Scale, 6 from the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale from 84 married mothers, aged 34.7 yr., indicated reasonable reliability and usual problems with skew and kurtosis. Significant marital social desirability was noted. The scale seems useful.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
