The non-standardization of the Fear Survey Schedule.
The Fear Survey Schedule-III was administered to 860 college students. The results are presented in the form of frequencies, in deliberate contrast to previous work which present results in the form of z-scores. The argument is made that these z-scores do not normalize the original item distributions and thus provide no opportunity for normative comparisons. Data are provided allowing the researcher to assess the characteristics of FSS-III item distributions and make limited normative comparisons.
