Abstract
To test the notion that extreme responding on Semantic Differential scales is related to maladjustment 3 groups of 12-yr.-old boys rated socially meaningful Semantic Differential Concepts. A psychopathic delinquent and non-psychopathic delinquent group checked the neutral space more frequently than a control “normal” group.Keywords
