“…Self-esteem was-nu-isured h\ the Bills Index of Adjustment and Values <HY) (Bills, undated manual;Bills, Vance, & McLean, 1951) A self-esteem score is obtained by summing the respondents' selfratings to 49 personality traits which are representative of items which occur frequently in clientcentered interviews. Published reviews indicate the IAV to be the most reliable and valid measure of self-concept variables (Strong & Feder, 1961;Wylie, 1961).…”

“…A number of objective instruments have been developed to yield a measure of selfacceptance (Strong and Feder, 1961). Of these, two are particularly relevant to Rogers' work in that they furnish operational definitions of the discrepancy model of self-acceptance (Crowne, Stephens, and Kelly, 1961).…”

This study attempted to further the knowledge of self-acceptance by analyzing the data from 2 multiple correlations, computed between 2 self-acceptance measures, Butler-Haigh Q sort and the Index of Adjustment and Values, and 4 other variables, the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, the Couch-Kenniston Yeasay-Naysay Scale and the Bass Social Acquiescence Scale. The following conclusions appear warranted: (a) Self-acceptance is not an independent trait; anxiety and response bias measures accounted for over one-half of the variance of the self-acceptance measures, (b) The measure of manifest anxiety correlated more highly with both self-acceptance instruments than the 2 self-acceptance instruments correlated with each other; (c) Caution is advised for researchers who use self-acceptance measures without adequate attention to construct validity.
