摘要:

AbstractTwo studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that the Repression‐Sensitization (R‐S) scale assesses self‐reported symptoms of psychopathology. In Study 1, 42 subjects were assigned randomly to groups that received differing instructions on the extent to which they should report experiencing distress and reveal personal problems. This manipulation produced highly significant group differences and accounted for most of the variability in R‐S scale scores. In Study 2, R‐S scale scores and scores of the Health Opinion Survey were correlated in a sample of 100 subjects. The high correlation obtained for these two measures suggests that both measures assess the same dimension, i.e., self‐report of symptoms of psychopathology. The results of these studies indicate that the R‐S scale is influenced so powerfully by self‐report of symptoms of psychopathology that its usefulness in assessing repression‐sensitizatio

摘要:

AbstractThe 10 hole (Adult Version) Tactile Performance Test (TPT) or Form Board is too difficult for patients with moderate to severe brain damage. A series of studies were done to enable an examiner to substitute the simpler 6 hole board (TPT 6 ‐ Child's Version) for such patients. Eighty subjects (61 brain damaged and 19 controls) were given both boards in a counterbalanced order. It was found that: (1) the TPT 10 was inadequate for severe damage; (2) the TPT 6 can be used with severe impairment; (3) a method of prorating blocks into time was developed; (4) the TPT 10 and TPT 6 are strongly correlated; (5) there were no order effects when both boards were given; (6) both boards significantly separated controls from brain‐damaged subjects; (7) criteria for substitution of the TPT 6 were established; and (8) comparable scales were established for both boards so that an examiner can substitute either TPT for the ot

摘要:

AbstractThe Word Finding Test (WFT; Reitan, 1972) was developed as a measure of verbal problem solving ability. It has been shown to be sensitive to the presence of brain damage, and to be more sensitive in this regard than several other verbal tests. The present study explored the relationships between WFT performances and lesion localization, level of general neuropsychological impairment, age, and education. The results from 165 brain‐damaged and 129 normal controlSs indicated that the WFT is sensitive to cerebral damage, regardless of lesion localization. However, this test is not helpful in making localization inferences. WFT scores also were correlated significantly with level of impairment, age, and educatio

摘要:

AbstractFollowing Gorsuch (1983, 1984), a method for generating continuously adjusted age norms is illustrated using the normative data for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale‐Revised (WAIS‐R) (Wechsler, 1981). Specific procedures for calculating age‐adjusted Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores also are demonstrated, with a worked example. Compared to the original tabled norms for the WAIS‐R, IQ scores based on continuous norming are more accurate because they involve an analytic smoothing procedure that eliminates the inaccuracies introduced by traditional tabled norms and because people are compared against their exact age

摘要:

AbstractVocabulary and Block Design were proposed previously as a two‐subtest short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale‐Revised; the addition of Arithmetic and Picture Arrangement was suggested to provide a four‐subtest short form of the scale. The present article reports the validities (correlations with the Full Scale) and reliabilities of these two short forms for each of the nine age groups in the standardization sample, together with standard errors of estimate and standard errors of measurement. The results are judged to support the use of these particular short forms for the purposes for which they were int

摘要:

AbstractThe intercorrelations among the 11 subtests of the WAIS‐R were analyzed for each of the nine age groups in the standardization sample. The cluster analytic results were far more consistent with a three‐factor solution than with a two‐factor solution. However, other evidence suggests that a single‐factor solution may be at least as adequate as any of the multifactor solutions that have been offered for the

摘要:

AbstractWAIS‐R protocols from 81 normal adults were rescored using the Satz‐Mogel short form procedure. Although correlations were high between short form and actual WAIS‐R scores for Verbal, Performance and Full Scale IQ (over .90), short form estimated FSIQs exceeded ±5 points from obtained scores in 55% of cases. At the subtest level, correlations were especially low between the short form and complete subtests for Similarities, Picture Arrangement, Picture Completion and Object Assembly. In those cases, estimated scaled scores exceeded the range of ±2 scaled score points from obtained subtest scores in over 25% of cases. Users of the Satz‐Mogel procedure with normal range IQ groups are cautioned against employing it for other than a very gross screening device. Interpretations of individual subtests should b

摘要:

AbstractForty‐four subjects were assigned to a High or Low Abuse Potential Group based upon their Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory's abuse scale scores. Each subject's heart rate (HR) and skin conductance (SC) were monitored while the subject was viewing videotape presentations of an infant smiling, crying, or quiescent. The High Abuse Potential Group had a faster peak HR throughout the videotape presentations with no significant differences among videotape segments. The Low Abuse Potential Group had a slower peak HR and had a significantly lower HR during the Smile and Cry segments than in the second Quiescent segment. The males accounted for most of the significant SC variability among tape segments. The pattern of SC responses revealed that the males were less aroused than the females, the Low Abuse Potential Group was less aroused than the High Abuse Potential group, and all four groups showed a decrease in arousal toward the end of the videotape presentations. The results provide support for the concurrent validity of the CAP inventor

摘要:

AbstractResearch that deals with the causes of alcoholism has been hampered by the absence of factor analyses that deal specifically with ethanol's aftereffects. We factor analyzed 100 alcoholics' reports of the effects that they experience after alcohol consumption. Five factors emerged–‐Hangover, Euphoria, Flushing, Seizures, and Sleepiness. They are described and discussed. Future investigators may find them helpful in assessing theories on the etiology of alcoholism and in studies of ethanol's effects on subsets of alcohol abus

摘要:

AbstractThis investigation examined a large number of self‐reported symptoms of psychopathology. Its specific purpose was to assess their relationship to alcohol abuse as a self‐indicated problem behavior. Participants in the study were 72 adults of both sexes who sought mental health services at a Veterans Administration outpatient Mental Hygiene Clinic. The self‐reporting instrument was a behavioral problem checklist that was administered as part of a routine psychological test battery given at the time of each client's intake assessment at the Clinic. A correlational analysis of these data revealed that several broad areas of psychopathology were related significantly to alcohol abuse: Social/interpersonal skill deficits, anxiety, addiction proneness, impulse dyscontrol, and self‐destructive ideation. These findings support a social learning theory of alcohol abuse. The results also imply that future treatment approaches to excessive drinking should include social skill and relaxation training as well as attention to traditional clinical concerns with self‐destructive thinking and impuls
