摘要:

AbstractPrincipal components analyses of the Beck Self‐concept Test (BST) were conducted independently for 288 women with primary mood disorders, 230 women with anxiety disorders, 236 men with mood disorders, and 161 men with anxiety disorders. Four self‐concept dimensions that reflected (1) Intellectual Ability; (2) Work Efficacy; (3) Physical Attractiveness; and (4) Virtue/Vices occurred within the four samples. For 5‐item subscales that represent these four dimensions, a two‐way MANOVA found significant effects for sex and type of disorder. Women described themselves as having less intellectual ability than men did. Outpatients with mood disorders considered their physical appearance, work efficacy, and virtues/vices to be less acceptable than did those with anxiety disorders. Findings were discussed with respect to the cognitive content‐specificity theory of psycho

摘要:

AbstractForty‐eight subjects with diagnoses of schizophrenia were assessed with the Bell Object Relations Inventory (BORI), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), and the Premorbid Adjustment Scale (PAS) to determine the distribution of object relations deficits in the whole sample and four subtypes: paranoid, schizoaffective, poor premorbid, and prominent negative symptoms. Results indicate that 92% of the sample had object relations deficits; 85% showed elevations on the BORI Alienation scale. Subjects with prominent negative symptoms produced lower values on Insecure Attachment and higher values on Egocentricity. This suggests that negative symptoms are associated with a reduction in perceived painfulness of attachment and increased egocentric investment. Other subtyping schemes showed no reliable pattern of object relations deficit

摘要:

AbstractFamily conflict and the lack of family cohesion are believed to set a foundation for coercive interactions that increase the likelihood of child abuse. The present study investigated the relationship between the family social environment (Family Environment Scale and Index of Marital Satisfaction) and physical child abuse potential (Child Abuse Potential Inventory) in maltreating (n= 376) and comparison (n= 148) parents. As expected, the strongest positive relationship was between family conflict and abuse potential. The strongest inverse relationships were between family cohesion, family expressiveness, marital satisfaction, and abuse scores, which indicates that the lack of positive interactional patterns is related to abuse potential. However, regression analysis revealed that family interactional patterns did not account for the majority of variance in abuse potential.

摘要:

AbstractTwenty‐five psychiatrists ranked a set of hypothetical patient scenarios, based on the three depression rating scales (Hamilton, Hospital Anxiety and Depression, and Montgomery Asberg), in terms of severity of illness. The results indicate some scope for comparing different condition‐specific outcome measures. Although the patient scenarios were context free, the responses of the psychiatrists suggested that they might be used to assess severity of depressive illn

摘要:

AbstractIn the present study, the MMPI was used to detect personality changes in 53 overweight, yet otherwise healthy, males who were participating in either a weight reduction or an aerobic exercise conditioning program. Analysis of pre‐ and post‐intervention scores revealed that only the participants in the aerobic conditioning group demonstrated the predicted desirable psychological changes. More specifically, this group displayed significant clinically desirable changes on the Hs, PDand HEAscores. Similar to the weight loss participants, a demographically matched nonintervention comparison group showed none of these desirable changes and actually yielded a significant increase on the D scale. However, when compared to this “normal” group, both intervention programs showed statistically significant differences on at least two MMPI

摘要:

AbstractMany authors have suggested that fear of intimate relationships is a central dynamic in bulimia. However, empirical studies have yielded conflicting results. Eleven women who met the DSM‐III‐R criteria for bulimia and 23 women who denied binging and/or engaging in purging behavior completed the Fear of Intimacy Scale (Descutner&Thelen, 1991). This instrument is the first instrument to measure fear of intimacy reliably and has been found to be valid for this purpose. As predicted, bulimic subjects evidenced significantly greater fear of intimacy than did control subje

摘要:

AbstractStatistically significant and clinically relevant age‐related changes in MMPI response patterns have long been known to clinicians. Graphic representations of mean scores that cover an 85‐year age span, separately by sex, for each of the 13 basic MMPI validity and clinical scales support the use of adolescent norms and indicate that clinicians should give greater acknowledgement to age‐related MMPI changes in adults and their interpretation, particularly among geriatric pat

摘要:

AbstractThe relation of specific MMPI scores to attention, concentration, and memory was assessed in an inpatient psychiatric sample diagnosed by DSM‐III‐R criteria as having schizophrenia, chronic undifferentiated type (n= 22); schizophrenia, paranoid type (n= 17); and schizoaffective disorder (n= 20). MMPI indices that are used widely to infer cognitive efficiency ‐ including Scales 2 (Depression), 8 (Schizophrenia), SC‐PT, D4 (Mental Dullness), Sc2A (Lack of Ego Mastery, Cognitive), PSY (Psychoticism) and ORG (Organic Symptoms)‐were investigated in relation to actual performance on Digit Span and subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS, Russell's Revision). Weak correlations emerged (maximumr=.31,p<.05), which suggests that scores on these MMPI measures may not provide a reliable basis for inferring attention and memory fu

摘要:

AbstractThis study evaluated the equivalence of the original MMPI and the shortened MMPI‐2 versions of the Barron (1953) Ego‐strength scale, an important research scale. Three hundred fifty‐five subjects took the MMPI‐2 and the 16 MMPI‐1 items dropped from the original scale. The omitted items appear to contribute little to the original scale. The revised version compares favorably with the old in terms of internal consistency, and the two versions are highly intercorrelated. Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicates that four of Stein and Chu's (1967) five groupings of the original items provide a reasonably good fit for the MMPI‐2 as well. Compared to the original, the new version was slightly more correlated with other paper‐and‐pencil measures of psychological health

摘要:

AbstractThe Bulimic Automatic Thoughts Test (BATT) was designed to address some of the limitations found in previous measures of the cognitions of bulimic patients. In this study, bulimic, depressed, obese, and normal subjects were differentiated on the BATT, which suggests that it is a useful measure for detecting cognitions specific to bulimic patients. Scores on the BATT improved after a trial of cognitive‐behavioral therapy for the bulimic subjects. The BATT may be useful in predicting which bulimic women will continue to have distorted thinking after treatment and will require additional interventio
