Fortunato, Vincent J.; Stone-Romero, Eugene F.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v59 n1 p77-97 Feb 1999
A 33-item Likert-type scale, the Strain-Free Negative Affectivity scale, was developed to measure negative affectivity that does not contain strain content. The measure was administered to samples of 225 and 281 college students. Results support the construct validity of the scale's scores. Contains 37 references. (SLD)
