title: Self-defeating personality and social intimacy.
abstract: The Self-defeating Personality Scale and a modified version of the Miller Social Intimacy Scale were given to 98 men (M(age) = 40.3) and 104 (M(age) = 40.0) women to validate criterion seven (rejects people who consistently treat him/her well) of the former. Both the correlation between the full scale scores and those for the Miller scale and the correlation between Miller scores and scores on criterion seven of the Self-defeating Scale were nonsignificant. Cronbach alpha was .51.
