Drawing on longitudinal data, the reliability and stability of four alienation measures (powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, and isolation) were investigated for a sample of 334 women between 1963 and 1971. The results indicated the empirical separability of the alienation variables, synchronic reliability of the measures at two points in time, and a high degree of stability in scale scores over the eight-year interval. These findings suggest the measurement feasibility of alienative world views which are relatively stable and enduring.
