The present research employed a total of 479 subjects in three studies to develop and initially validate a random response scale for the Child Abuse Potential Inventory. Preliminary norm and reliability estimates are reported (Study One). Cross‐validation (Study Two) and construct validity (Study Three) data are provided that indicate that the random response scale is stable across groups and can discriminate normal responders from those instructed to respond in a random, haphazard manner.
