760 randomly selected women residing on farms in a mid-western srate were administered the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List to explore factors affecting their depression, anxiety, and hostility scores. Anxiety scores were significantly correlated with hostility scores and with depression scores, as were hostility scores with depression scores. Factors that appeared to affect depression scores were presence and age of children in the home, church attendance, religious affiliation, involvement in decision making, contact with friends, and husbands' educational level. Anxiety scores appeared to be affected by presence and age of children, subjects' age, church attendance, religious affiliation, decision making and husbands' education. Hostility appeared to be affected by presence and age of children, subjects' age, decision making, contact with friends, and husbands' educational level.

This study was done to assess the influence of a response set, number of items checked, in the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL). In some previous studies, the response set was moderately correlated with the total scale scores of Anxiety, Depression, and Hostility, but in other studies the correlations were minimal. Ss were 432 male and 614 female undergraduates from colleges in the East, Midwest, and West. In the total sample, the number of items checked correlated low, but significantly, with the total scale scores. However, the magnitude of the correlations varied considerably among the three regional samples.

This study investigated the effects upon affective responses of students when a course examination was postponed twice. 44 students in a college English class were given the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL) two days before the scheduled examination and were asked to fill it out every day for 2 wk. as a study of moods. Results indicated a rise in anxiety, depression, hostility for each exam day but a decline in intensity over the 3 exam days. Compared to students who did well on the exam, poor students were generally more hostile, were made more hostile by the imminent examination, and remained more hostile on the day following the exam.

The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and Multiple Affect Adjective Check List were administered to 75 schizophrenic women. A principal component analysis of the correlations between the former instrument's 18 symptoms and the latter instrument's measures of Anxiety, Depression, and Hostility indicated that the checklist's scales loaded together on one component along with the rating scale's symptom of hallucinatory behavior. The conclusion was drawn that the scales had measured different aspects of psychopathology in schizophrenic women.

The present study was carried out to investigate recent theories of Marshall McLuhan concerning the differential effects of “hot” (movie) and “cool” (television) communications media. Four groups of college students ( N = 51) viewed the same highway accident film, “Signal 30,” under four different media conditions (color movie and black and white television with and without sound track). Dependent variable measurements were made by administering the “today-form” of the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL) to all Ss four times before and once after the stressful film. According to McLuhan, Ss who were shown the accident film by a “hot” medium (movie) were expected to score significantly higher on the anxiety, depression, and hostility sub-scales of the MAACL than those who were exposed to the “cool” medium (television). There was, however, no significant difference in postfilm MAACL scores for the different media conditions and thus Mc-Luhan's hypotheses were not supported.
