We are interested in how people respond when they confront difficult or stressful events

in their lives. There are lots of ways to try and deal with stress. This questionnaire asks

you to indicate what you generally do and feel, when you experience stressful events.

Obviously different events bring out somewhat different responses, but think about what

you usually do when you are under a lot of stress.

Please circle the response that most reflects how you deal with stressful events, using

the scale below to make your choice.

Author& Derek 2oger E ahman 4aFarian

The /C'$ is a +6)item scale that ;as constructed to measure emotional control. The first

scale that ;as devised to measure emotion control? called the /motion Control

'uestionnaire (/C'*? ;as developed by 2oger and 4esshoever (-:53*. The original

authors defined Semotion control as the tendency to inhibit the e1pression of emotional

responses (-:5:*.

There are & factors that comprise the /C'$G

2ehearsal 8 measures the degree of rumination over emotionally upsetting events

/motional ,nhibition 8 assesses the tendency to inhibit e1perienced emotion

Aggression Control 8 e1amines the inhibition of hostility

enign Control 8 correlates ;ith Simpulsiveness and ;as included to distinguish it from

aggression control.

'coring& Participants rate statements as either true or false on each of the +6 items. The &

factors of the /C'$ comprise -& items each.

coping style is comprised of high defensiveness? the tendency to endorse unlikely virtues

and deny minor faults? combined ;ith lo; levels of reported trait an1ietyK (La2o;e? 9line E

The authors investigated the distinction bet;een (a* truly lo;)an1ious subFects? ;ho report

that repressors ;ere more stressed than the lo; )an1ious subFects despite their claims of

suggests an intermediate level of an1ious responding.

The authors suggest that it is important to distinguish bet;een repressors and truly lo;)

AuthorG D. L. Paulhus

The ,D2 is a &0)item instrument that is used to measure $ constructsG

!elf)deceptive positivity 8 described as the tendency to give self)reports that are believed

but have a positivety bias

,mpression management 8 deliberate self)presentation to an audience.

The ,D2 emphasies e1aggerated claims of positive cognitive attributes

(overconfidence in ones Fudgments and rationality*. ,t is vie;ed as a measure of defense?

i.e.? people ;ho score high on self)deceptive positivity tend to defend against negative

self)evaluations and seek out inflated positive self)evaluations.

'coring& 2espondents are asked to rate the &0)items on a 3 point scale according to their

level of agreement ;ith the item (stated as propositions*. The scoring key is balanced.

After reversing the negatively keyed items? one point is added for each e1treme response

(6 or 3*. Total scores on the both constructs can range from 0 to $0. Thus? high scores are

only attained by respondents ;ho give e1aggeratedly desirable responses. All &0 items

may be summed to give an overall measure of social desirable responding.

(eliability& ,nternal consistency alphas for the total measure? self)deceptive positivity

and impression management are .5%? .65 ) .50? and .3+ ) .56? respectively. Test)retest

correlations over a + ;eek period ;ere reported as being .6: and .6+ for self)deceptive

positivity and impression management? respectively.

Validity& Demonstrates concurrent validity as a measure of social desirable responding

correlating .3- ;ith the M)C !D! and .50 ;ith the Multidimensional !ocial Desirability

,nventory.
