摘要:

The study described here explored discrepancies between self‐ratings and interview ratings of Type A behaviour. A total of 281 patients referred for diagnostic coronary angiography underwent a comprehensive psychological assessment including the Type A structured interview (SI), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and two self‐report measures of Type A behaviour, the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) and the Type A Self‐Rating Inventory (TASRI). Two subgroups of patients were identified—Type A subjects whose Type A self‐ratings were consistent with the SI classification, and subjects who obtained low self‐rating scores and yet were classified as Type A by the SI. A comparison of the MMPI profiles showed that the discordant Type As scored lower on MMPI scales 9 (Ma) and 4 (Pd), and higher on scales 0 (Si), 2 (D) and F. The personality attributes associated with this MMPI pattern are more consistent with individual self‐reports of Type A behaviour than observer ratings

摘要:

Pain experienced by 29 British cancer patients was evaluated by the McGill Pain Questionnaire. The questionnaires were analysed according to the traditional and a newly proposed scoring method. The results were compared with previously published studies. Scores relating to the sensory and affective components of pain were found to be similar for all groups of cancer pain patients. On the contrary, differences between groups were found for evaluative scores of the overall experience of pain. A previously observed pattern of pain intensity‐complexity correlation in cancer pain patients was reproduced. Interpretations of the similarities and discrepancies among groups of patients are discusse

摘要:

In order to test the possibility that an investigator's inquiries about dental patients’ anxiety and expectations of pain will enhance their subsequent discomfort, two groups of 51 patients were asked after their appointment about the amount of pain they had experienced, but only one group was interviewed beforehand. No difference between these groups was foun

摘要:

The importance of psychological factors in the management of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasingly recognized. One factor is the personality of the individual diabetic. The present study compared the personality structure of diabetics in good and those in poor control. The Arrow–Dot Test (ADT) was employed in 45 diabetic subjects. Subjects in poor diabetic control had significantly higher id scores than well‐contolled subjects. Subjects that were well controlled had significantly higher ego strength scores than those in poor control. Thus the ADT appears to have a potential use in the stricter control of DM; this is generally accepted to be desirable to reduce or slow down complications of the dise

摘要:

The probability of item endorsement in the Ai3 test of anal character was found to be significantly related to item social desirability, but total scores on the test were unrelated to measures of social desirability. It is concluded that the test is adequately free of social desirability effects and that the experimental findings strengthen claims for the construct validity of the Ai3.
