A scoring key containing adjectives from the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List-Revised (MAACL-R) at or below the Grade 6 reading level (MAACL–R6) was used to rescore data from two nonreferred samples (college students, ns = 52 and 78) and one referred sample of 202 from a community mental health center outpatient clinic. Reliability (measures of internal consistency and test-retest) and validity (correlations with five 5–point self-rating mood scales) were almost as high as those for the MAACL–R, and convergence among the MAACL–R6 scales was not increased. Means for the referred group were significantly higher.

Data from samples of College Students ( n = 433), Adolescents ( n = 746), and a community mental health center sample (Outpatients) ( n = 202) were re-scored using a scoring key that consisted of adjectives from the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List-Revised at or below the Grade 4 reading level (MAACL–R4). Factor analyses showed that, unlike the MAACL–R, a three-factor structure (Positive Affect 4, Anxious Depression 4, and Hostility 4) best described the 38 Grade 4 adjectives on the MAACL–R4. Estimates of reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) for each scale were acceptable. Correlations between scores on MAACL–R4 and four Self-rating Mood Scales showed expected convergent and discriminant validities. Also, patterns of means among the three groups could differentiate the nonreferred from referred samples.

A validity and reliability study of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, Form A and Form B, is reported for 274 females and 303 male outpatients attending a community mental health center. Findings were similar to those published for randomized samples. The present study helped to sustain interest in the inventory as a research tool with psychological outpatients.
