SILVA, Liane Di Stefano Da  and  CAPITAO, Claudio Garcia. Validity evidences between STAXI and PFT. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.2, pp. 151-161. ISSN 1677-0471.

The aim of this study was to verify the validity evidence based on relations to other variables between Rosenzweig Picture Frustration Test - PFT and State Trait Anger Inventory - STAXI. 75 female participants were nursing students from a private college in São Paulo. Extra punitive answers showed moderate magnitude to significant correlation to anger state and low to anger trait and temper. Obstacle dominance correlated significantly to anger state. In conclusion, convergent validity evidences between these tests were found; whereas it is important that new studies are conducted with larger samples and other instruments should be applied due to enlarge validity data.
