The Mooney Problem Check List, College Form, was administered to 2261 students from six Louisiana universities for standardization purposes. Usable protocols were obtained from 1929 subjects. Comparisons among schools, school classes, sex, race, and marital status were made for the 11 Mooney categories. Norm tables were developed for all groups with sufficient ns for the several categories. A component analysis was also done, with 13 components retained for rotation by varimax and promax. Comparisons among groups were made for the 11 categories and 13 factors. Tables of norms were likewise developed for sufficiently large groups.
