摘要:

AbstractEmpirical cluster analysis methods have been the basis for development of a phenomenological classification of depressive disorders. Verbal descriptions of the distinguishing features of anxious, hostile, agitated, and retarded subtypes of depression are provided to facilitate development of clinical classification concepts. A review of some of the validity data is presented.

摘要:

AbstractDiverse sets of factors have been claimed by various investigators to be basic personality variables of the highest factor order. A sample of 400 psychiatric patient records were rated for presence or absence of 14 criteria. The data were factor analyzed, and four factors were extracted. Three of the four factors resemble Eysenck's three‐factor model of personality at the universal or general level. The fourth factor is interpreted to be a behavioral dimension at a lower level. The results are discussed in terms of the population and the type of data utilize

摘要:

AbstractOver the last several years, responses to the Imaginal Processes Inventory (IPI) developed by Singer and Antrobus have been collected on over 1300 men and women from age 17 to 92 years. The IPI contains items that concern various aspects of daydreaming and attentional processes. The 344 items of the Imaginal Processes Inventory plus age were intercorrelated for the 1300Ssample. This intercorrelation matrix was subjected to a principal components analysis; 53 principal components then were rotated to a Varimax solution. The Varimax solution was transformed, which led to item coefficients that permit the calculation of factor scores for eachSon each of the factorially pure components of the Imaginal Processes Inventory. Results of the factor analysis are given in terms of the meaningfully interpreted components. Also presented are mean factor scores for men and women for 12 age groups.

摘要:

AbstractGathered MMPI and demographic data on six groups of 25 men each who had been remanded by the courts to a maximum security psychiatric hospital for pretrial assessment. The groups differed according to offense type: Murder or attempted murder of a family member or girlfriend, murder or attempted murder of an unrelated victim, rape, arson, child molesting, or property. The MMPI profiles of the groups were remarkably similar, and the prediction that the murder family group would have the highest Overcontrolled Hostility scores was not supported. Multiple discriminant analyses showed that the remand's age on admission and whether he had been in corrections before the current offense were the best discriminators among the groups. These data indicate that the MMPI is not related to the offense types of mentally disordered offenders referred by the courts for assessment, but does reflect their relatively high levels of psychopathology.

摘要:

AbstractInvestigated the construct validity of the Social Interest Index (SII) on a sample (N= 140) of hospitalized male alcoholics. Because of the inferred properties of social interest, it was hypothesized that the SII would relate positively with measures of some social traits, mental health, intelligence, education, and internal locus of control and would relate negatively with measures of other social traits and MMPI “pathology” scales. The hypotheses generally were supported. The significant positive correlation between the SII and social desirability was discussed along with other theoretical/methodological issues raised by the d

摘要:

AbstractAssessed the relative predictive validity of obvious (0), neutral (N), and subtle (S) items of the MMPI MAscale (N= 86 males). Subtle‐obvious ratings were compared to criteria in the three types of measurement delineated by Cattell, namely, questionnaire, life‐history, and objective tests. MA‐O was correlated positively with the Experience Seeking factor of the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) as well as time taken and errors on the Porteus Maze, while MA‐S was correlated positively with the Thrill and Adventure Seeking factor of the SSS and the biographic questionnaire. MA‐N, on the other hand, was not related to any criteria. Because the correlations among the criteria themselves were generally insignificant, it was suggested that hypomania is not a homogeneous

摘要:

AbstractExamined the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Zung Self‐Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS) for specificity and validity as measures of anxiety and depression. It was hypothesized that if the BDI and SDS were specific to symptoms of depression, they would show high correlations with each other, low correlations with the TMAS, and intermediate correlations with the Neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI‐N). The four instruments were administered to 170 undergraduate students, and correlations and qualitative content analyses showed that the BDI, SDS and TMAS were intercorrelated significantly with the EPI‐N scale and that item content overlapped heavily among the tests. The results suggest all four tests tap an emotionality factor of stability‐inst

摘要:

AbstractAlthough the Barron Ego Strength Scale (BESS) often has been shown to differentiate between the presence or absence of psychopathology, the exact construct measured as Ego Strength is little understood. This study related the BESS to the 15 personality needs of the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, the Tolerance Scale of the California Psychological Inventory, and the Practical Outlook Scale of the Omnibus Personality Inventory.Ss were 80 normal adult women, recruited individually from the community. Results showed significant correlations (p<.05) only between Ego Strength and Abasement (‐.44), Dominance (.19), Tolerance (.69), and Practical Outlook (‐.32). This suggests that rather than distinguishing among specific personality profiles, the BESS relates to an underlying belief in self‐adequacy, along with tolerant, balanced atti

摘要:

AbstractPresented an outline of the development of a semi‐automated full psychological test battery. Focus is on the interpretation and narrative of the report. The format for the development of interpretive statements that cover the entire test battery content is presented on both objective tests and projective instruments. A sample case report is included. This procedure, which utilizes an automated typewriter, focuses on the development of a semiautomated method that can be employed by the individual psychologist who does not have access to extensive computer facilities. The Semi‐Automated Full Battery is a method that can lessen significantly the time and much of the repetition entailed in psychological report writ

摘要:

AbstractDescribed a computer‐assisted system for intake assessment. Previous evaluation studies are reviewed. Two experiments (N= 30;N= 35) are reported that compared the reliability of a diagnostic procedure that involves technicians, a structured interview schedule, and a computerized diagnostic program with diagnoses made by clinicians. Results show that the computer‐assisted technician approach is as reliable as the conventional met
