What is the Best Measure of Psychological Reactance? An Empirical Test of Two Measures

Pages 1-9 | Published online: 29 Jun 2011
 

Abstract

This study examines two measures of psychological reactance. In search of identifying the best measure, each is compared vis-à-vis the other with respect to reliability and validity by placing each in a nomothetic network with a freedom threat, attitude, motivation, and source appraisal. The results are discussed with an emphasis on future practices regarding the best approach to measure psychological reactance.
