Determining the trait favorability of the urdu version of 300 adjective check list

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to obtain trait favorability of the Urdu version [Hague, 1982] of 300 Adjective Check List [ACL] originally developed by Gough and Heilbrun [1965] as rated by Sindh University students. The ACL contains both negative and positive adjectives, expressing those qualities, which seem to be more or less essential for describing human personality traits. The study was designed to investigate the favorability of each adjective more systematically. A precise estimation was made by obtaining subjects' ratings the favorability of each adjective on a 5-point scale and subsequently by determining a mean value of each item of the ACL
