摘要:

AbstractA statewide sample of WWII ex‐POWs (N= 442) responded to questionnaires that sampled current and past difficulties with PTSD‐related symptoms; an incidence of serious difficulties with these symptoms of 56% was revealed. Retrospective reports of temporal patterns revealed no consistent patterns of symptom occurrence, but, rather, a waxing and waning of difficulties over the 40‐year period. Unexpectedly, measures of severity of the POW experiences did not predict current symptomatology. Rank at time of capture, however, was consistently and strongly predictive of PTSD. It is suggested that PTSD is a highly persistent phenomenon and that both situation and person variables contribute to the development and maintenance of

摘要:

AbstractRecently, the MCMI‐II (Millon, 1987) has been introduced as a successor to the MCMI‐I (Millon, 1983). This study evaluated the MCMI‐II as a treatment outcome measure for psychiatric inpatients. Ninety‐eight patients were tested at admission and discharge with the MCMI‐II. Changes in mean MCMI‐II scores on the basic and pathological personality scales, as well as the moderate and severe symptom scales, were generally congruent with findings from a previous outcome study with the MCMI‐I (Piersma, 1986a). However, several differences between the MCMI‐II and MCMI‐I were noted, which suggests that the MCMI‐II will need to be cross‐validated as an instrument dis

摘要:

AbstractIn a sample of 60 psychiatric patients recently discharged from inpatient or day hospital psychiatric facilities, we evaluated the psychometric characteristics of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scales. The scales demonstrated alpha reliabilities and intercorrelations similar to those reported by Wallston, Wallston, and DeVellis (1978). Factor analysis and a confirmatory LISREL analysis provided more qualified support for the hypothesized three‐factor structure of the scales. The findings suggest, however, that the MHLC appears suitable for use among psychiatric patients, particularly in the combined forms (A and B) versio

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined the efficacy of the Schizophrenic‐Organicity (SC‐O), Psychiatric‐Organic (P‐O), the Pseudo‐Neurological (P‐N), and the Schizophrenia (SC) MMPI subscales in differentiating the following four groups of outpatients: brain‐damaged (n= 35, brain‐damaged schizophrenics (n= 10), non‐brain‐damaged schizophrenics (n= 15), and somatoform disorders (n= 45). Both unmatched and matched samples were used in the analysis, and cut‐off scores were obtained. In an unmatched sample, results suggested that the SCscale was useful in differentiating braindamaged schizophrenics from brain‐damaged and somatoform disorders. With matched samples, the SCdifferentiated brain‐damaged schizophrenics well from other clinical groups, while the P‐O scale differentiated the nonbrain‐damaged schizophrenics from brain‐damaged and somatoform disorders. Furthermore, the P‐N scale discriminated brain‐damaged schizophrenics from non‐brain‐damaged schizophrenics, while the SC‐O scale was no longer significant. Results suggest that caution should be used in generalizing from previous studies (which used inp

摘要:

AbstractTwo indices descriptive of patterns of differential cognitive impairment have been derived from principal component analyses of the normative data of the Wechsler scales for adults (WAIS‐R) and children (WISC‐R), respectively. The former index is sensitive to the test‐specific cognitive effects of unilateral cerebral damage in adults. The latter accurately describes the pattern of subtest scores produced by learning‐disabled children. The present study reviews the available WAIS and WAIS‐R data from adults with learning disability in order to determine which of these two indices more precisely delineates their pattern of test performance; the index derived from the children's test appears to be the one best able

AbstractThis study compared the performance of 200 Turkish adults, divided by educational status and age (20‐39; 40‐59), with published data based upon similar‐aged American and British normative samples. Results highlighted the major influence of educational background in determining performance on the WMS and the implications of this effect in interpreting normative perfor

摘要:

AbstractRecent technical advances in neurodiagnostic procedures have improved significantly our knowledge of the pathophysiology of a number of disease processes and how they relate to behavioral manifestation. This paper focuses on advances in electroencephalography (EEG) and the implications that this growing body of research has for the diagnosis of suspected brain disorders in older patients.

摘要:

AbstractWe investigated the reliability of the factor structure of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale‐Revised (WAIS‐R). The WAIS‐R subtests, as administered to 146 head‐injured males, were factor analyzed. Two‐ and three‐factor solutions were extracted that were consistent with past findings. Congruence coefficients were computed to determine degree of association between factor structures from all samples reported in the literature. All coefficients were impressive. Also, congruence coefficients based on factor structures derived from different samples within the same population were compared to coefficients based on different samples from different populations. No significant discrepancies emerged. Apparently, the slight factor structure variation that does exist is due to chance data fluctuation rather than to systematic population bias. This reflects well on the robustness of the WAIS‐R fac

摘要:

AbstractA study was conducted on how perceptions of a therapist's competence are affected by the therapist's title. Psychiatric inpatients (58 males and 24 females) viewed one of four copies of a videotaped session of the interaction between a male therapist and a male client. One tape described the therapist as “Doctor,” one tape described him as “Mister,” one by his first name, and one with no name or title. The therapist was rated by the patients on 11 qualities related to competence. Of 11 analyses, 1 title effect was found, and females rated the therapist higher on two qualities. Overall, 9 of the qualities showed no effect for title or for ratings by

摘要:

AbstractThe relationship between depressed mood and subject's trait ratings of self and experimenter was examined. Mood was induced by having subjects (N= 31) view a depressing or control film. Subjects then rated themselves and the experimenter on personality traits related to supportiveness and general ability. Measurement of subject's mood indicated that the mood induction was effective. “Depressed” individuals rated themselves more negatively on the combined personality traits than did controls. “Depressed” individuals rated the experimenter more negatively for supportiveness traits, but slightly more positively for general ability traits than did control subjects. Results are discussed in terms of research on the effects of depression on self‐devaluation and suppor
