title: Relationship of the repression-sensitization scales to anxiety.
abstract: Two scales used to assess repression-sensitization (R-S) and three standard measures of anxiety were administered to 105 clients. Multiple correlation analysis showed Byrne's R-S scale to correlate .90 with the composite of STAI-Trait and the EPI Neuroticism scale. It was concluded that the R-S scale is essentially a measure of trait anxiety.
