A study of the relationship between the revised repression-sensitization scale and perceived parental behavior among freshmen and sophomore college students

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the revised Repression-Sensitization Scale and perceived parental behavior as measured on the Short Form Children's Reports o' Parental Behavior: An Inventory. The purpose of this study was to examine previous findings and to attempt to isolate additional factors associated with later neurotic disturbances.The results of the present investigation support earlier findings suggesting that the Repression-Sensitization Scale is linearly associated with neuroticism and personal maladjustment. A significant difference was found between repressors and sensitizers and perception of their parents behavior. The findings indicate that parents of repressors are more accepting then parents of sensitizers. Furthermore, sensitizers were found to have experienced a home environment characterized by family conflict and discord.
