What is Incompatible Need Strength and the Repression-sensitization Dimension about?

## PROBLEM Recent research on the repression-sensitization dimension indicates that the R-S scale") relates to adjwtment in linear fashion with sensitizers appearing more maladjusted than repressors. In brief, Sensitizers appear more anxious than repressors(\*), have a greater discrepency between self and respond more deviantly to Gough's adjective check list(\*), appear more maladjusted on several MMPI scales(4), and appear more maladjusted on the CPI(\*). I n particular Byme(\*) and Tempone and Lamb(') present evidence suggesting that sensitizers experience significantly more conflict than repressors. All of the above evidence is contrary to Byme's(\*) hypothesis that the two extremes of the repression-eensitization dimension represent different but equally maladjwted ways of responding to anxiety-evoking stimuli. This study presents further data relevant to the reletionship between the repression-sensitization dimension and maladjustment in general, aa well aa specific areas of conflict in particular, using Trehub's(8) ego-disjunction meaaure of incompatible needs.
