Clarifying Convergent Validity Issues in Prevention Focus Scales: the Relation of Constraint to Prevention Focus
This paper helps explain convergent validity issues in two major scales of prevention focus (RFQ, Lockwood). We demonstrate that these differences are partially explained by their differential relationship to components of Tellegen’s personality model (traditionalism, control, harm avoidance). We suggest re-conceptualization of prevention focus into expectation- and behavior-related prevention focus.
