Abstract
Thirty-eight undergraduates completed the forced-choice form of the Test of Emotional Styles and participated in a 4-day dream recall study. Correlational analysis was performed with the three dimensions of emotional style and two dream report aspects as variables. The dimensions failed to correlate significantly with any of the dream report variables, although the dimensions intercorrelated significantly among themselves. Doubt is expressed as to the construct validity of the subscales of the Test of Emotional Styles.
