Abstract

Prior work using Hong's Psychological Reactance Scale has shown that there were main effects for participants' sex, race, and age. No consistent significant relationships with these demographic factors were obtained with scores on Hong's Psychological Reactance Scale. The one-dimensional nature of the scale was supported. Further analyses yielded no significant results with sexual orientation, socioeconomic classifications, and education. If the scale is to be a useful measure of Psychological Reactance, much more work is needed. The findings from prior work and this one may be affected by measurement error in the construct and the small magnitude of the relationships.
