| Abstract: | Because the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) confounds the respondent's self and other-orientations, it was modified to measure both orientations on each of the 15 personality variables. Thirty-seven university students and their spouses were administered the modified EPPS. Their reliability was significantly higher than Edwards reports for his college student sample which was given his standard instrument. Also, the respondents were shown to have different preferences for themselves than for others, both over-all and for specific scales on the modified instrument. |
