Why is it important?
Without measures validated in different age groups it is difficult for researchers to investigate how trait reactance develops over the life span. This is particularly important for adolescence because this period is characterized by substantial emotional, cognitive and social changes.
Perspectives
We believe this article is a valuable contribution to the developing body of evidence that surrounds the HPRS.
