Abstract
Normative data are presented for a male prison population on the Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1965), Form A of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975) and Form C of the Depression Adjective Check List (Lubin, 1967). The intercorrelations among the instruments also are presented. In the sample were 60 recently admitted male inmates of a maximum security correctional institution randomly drawn from a larger sample of 205 consecutive admissions. Subjects describe themselves as markedly depressed, high on neuroticism, low in personal adjustment, low in self-confidence, and low in self-control.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
