| Abstract: | This study was designed to document the validity of the Teenage Nonviolence Test (TNT). In this study the concurrent validity of the TNT in various ways, the validity of the TNT using known groups, and the discriminant validity of the TNT by evaluating its relationships with other psychological constructs were assessed. The results showed that the TNT is a generally valid measure of nonviolent tendencies for adolescents. Significant relationships between the constructs measured were usually in the predicted directions. (Contains 17 references and 3 tables.) (Author/GCP) |
