The Nottingham Adjustment Scale: An Estimation of Response Bias.
Dodds, A. G.; And Others
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v90 n1 p51-57 Jan-Feb 1996
This study found that Nottingham Adjustment Scale items on acceptance of sight loss and attitudes toward blindness were free of response bias. Respondents (n=559) who were given only negative items disagreed significantly more with them than did those given mixed positive and negative statements. Respondents with poor emotional adjustment were influenced more by positive statements. (Author/PB)
