Construct Validity of the Lie Scale as a Measure of Defensiveness

Burish, Thomas G.; Houston, B. Kent

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 32, 2, 310-14, Apr 76

Explores more directly the alleged defensive interpretation of the L scale by relating it to another measure of defensiveness, viz, the denial scale (Dn) and to two other measures that presumably do not reflect defensiveness, viz, the MMPI Schizophrenia (Sc) and Hypochondriasis (Hs) scales.
