Oh my, there are so many... The Holmes and Rahe (1967) scale for estimating emotional stress of various events (death, retirement, speeding ticket) was done with a M. E. procedure. M. E. can be used to scale fear-inducing stimuli in systematic desensitization (Tryon, 1977). M. E. can be used to scale amount of intoxication (Ekman et al., 1964) and severity of psychiatric symptoms (Stone, 1968).
