Two Bass Scale factors and response to placebo and anxiolytic drugs

D M McNair et al. Psychopharmacology (Berl). 1979 Oct.

Abstract

Two principal oblique factors are identified in the Bass Social Acquiescence Scale, a measure previously shown to correlate positively with placebo response and negatively with anxiolytic drug response. The two factors appeared very similar in separate analyses of data from samples of 941 psychiatric outpatients and 1,837 college students. Also, results are presented which indicate that one factor, tentatively labeled "traditionalism", accounted for the empirically observed relationships to placebo and drug response in two clinical trials.
