The Relaxation Inventory : self-report scales of relaxation training effects . The development of a self-report measure to assess the effects of relaxation training was examined . A rigorous statistical method of scale construction consisting of a modification of the scale discrimination technique was employed , resulting in a 45-item questionnaire representing three orthogonally derived scales . The three scales , Physiological Tension , Physical Assessment , and Cognitive Tension , demonstrated adequate internal consistency with KR20 reliability coefficients of .89 , .95 , and .81 , respectively . In a second study of predictive validity , 40 individuals were randomly assigned to one of four conditions : relaxation training , tension inducement , pre-postcontrol , or postcontrol . Univariate analysis of variance indicated significant findings for each of the three dimensions of the inventory . The Physiological Tension Scale detected significant increases in tension following tension inducement , whereas the Physical Assessment Scale and Cognitive Tension Scale detected increases in relaxation following relaxation training . Recommendations were made for future research on the inventory .
