Prior to Oct 2002, this variable was incorrectly summed. 19oo
was not reverse-coded prior to summing as indicated in description
of MN053RER; and 19pp (MN054RER) was reverse coded prior to summing,
but MN054RER should not have been reverse coded.
MN046REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the seven items (19f,
19m,19t,19aa,19hh,19oo,19pp) recieved a valid response. The degree of
self-acceptance can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 42 (the
highest possible). See MN046REI for an imputed version of this
variable for which mean of valid responses is imputed for missing
responses. See MN047RE for the number of items included in the sum.
