AbstractThe relation between aspects of depression and the wish to be held was studied in 72 male and 57 female college students. Females reported higher levels of depressive experiences associated with issues of dependency as well as more intense wishes to be held. In both sexes the intensity of the wish to be held was related to dependency; however, it was the correlations of these variables with level of depression that revealed differences between males and females. In males, the wish to be held covaried positively with the overall level of depression, whereas in females it remained invariant across levels of depression. Thus, males who describe themselves as more depressed, relative to other males, expressed more feelings associated with dependency and more intense wishes to be held.

摘要:

AbstractThree groups of Vietnam‐era veterans were compared on the frequency of symptoms typical of the diagnostic criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a diagnostic category introduced in DSM III (N= 90). The three groups consisted of veterans who had experienced (a) a war‐related traumatic event; (b) a non‐war‐related traumatic event; or (c) no traumatic event. The results indicated that the two groups who experienced a traumatic event reported significantly more symptoms than the group who never experienced a traumatic event. Furthermore, the group who experienced a war‐related traumatic event reported more symptoms than the group who experienced a non‐war‐related traumatic event. These results support the val

摘要:

AbstractThis study investigated the influence of target personality characteristics on self‐disclosure. Using the Bem Q‐Sort Technique, the subjects (71 male and 73 female undergraduate students) described the personality of the person to whom they disclose the most and the personality of the person to whom they disclose the least, as well as their own personality. Factor analysis revealed that there were several personality types to whom people disclose the most and the least. The various types are described and discussed. Results supported the hypothesis that both males and females prefer disclosing to individuals who are perceived as similar to themselves in personality. This finding has important implications for the therapeutic relationship with regard to matching therapist and cli

摘要:

AbstractThis study evaluated two taped relaxation training programs with 39 psychiatric inpatients, half of whom received minor tranquilizers in conjunction with relaxation training. It appeared that the procedurally enhanced relaxation program was able to produce slightly more therapeutic effects than the standard training program. Significant differences were found between the medicated and the unmedicated groups by multivariate analysis of variance on multiple measures, including heart rate and frontalis EMG. Procedural clarity in relaxation treatment research and the importance of considering contextual factors in the treatment setting are stressed.

摘要:

AbstractDepressed (N= 20) and nondepressed outpatients (N= 20) and normal controls (N= 20) rated the frequency with which they used various interpersonal behaviors in different social roles and emotional circumstances. The results indicated considerable situational specificity in subjects' reports of how they actually behave; the three subject groups displayed similar patterns. Most notable were findings that subjects report relatively frequent use of sadness displays when stressed by intimates, but not when similar stresses are imposed by strangers. In the latter case, social withdrawal is reported as a relatively frequent response. The results are discussed as contradicting an invariant, trait‐like interpersonal style among depressed individual

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined the effect of adding hypnosis to a behavioral weight‐management program on short‐ and long‐term weight change. One hundred nine subjects, who ranged in age from 17 to 67, completed a behavioral treatment either with or without the addition of hypnosis. At the end of the 9‐week program, both interventions resulted in significant weight reduction. However, at the 8‐month and 2‐year follow‐ups, the hypnosis clients showed significant additional weight loss, while those in the behavioral treatment exhibited little further change. More of the subjects who used hypnosis also achieved and maintained their personal weight goals. The utility of employing hypnosis as an adjunct to a behavioral weight‐management progr

摘要:

AbstractThis study evaluated the hypothesis that a response set accounts for relationships between obvious or subtle statements and criteria by assessing the discriminant validity of two MMPI scales subdivided by raters on the obvious‐subtle dimension. One hundred male college students completed the MMPI and several other questionnaires and performance tests selected to serve as criteria. Results suggest that obvious items do not possess significant discriminant validity, a finding that would be consistent with a response set interpretation. Relationships formed between subtle subscales and criteria did not suggest a response set interpretation, although a straightforward demonstration of discriminant validity was not found. The full scales appear to possess more discriminant validity than their obvious and subtle subscale

摘要:

AbstractThe subjectivity of the Harris‐Lingoes MMPI content subscales was examined by asking expert judges (N= 13) to group items from appropriate clinical scales that represented similar content, attitudes or traits. The mean subgroups were compared to the Harris‐Lingoes subscales, and item groupings were consensually validated and replicated. Judges developed more content categories per scale than Harris and Lingoes, but showed relatively little agreement on item groupings. Nine consensually validated and replicated subscales were highly similar to nine Harris‐Lingoes subscales, while nine other replicated subscales were moderately similar to seven Harris‐Lingoes subscales. Twelve Harris‐Lingoes subscales were unrelated to the replicated

摘要:

AbstractThis study developed a situation‐specific instrument that measures assertiveness of adolescents. The Assertiveness Scale for Adolescents (ASA), which contains 33 items, was constructed using a multiple‐choice format with three response alternatives. Based on data from 682 elementary and secondary school students, adequate reliability and validity of the ASA were obtained when tested against several variables about which predictions could be made. Potential use of the instrument in clinical diagnosis and research was discus

摘要:

AbstractThis study reported data from a comparison of items from psychologically naive vs. psychologically sophisticated item‐writers vs. a standardized test (Self‐rating Anxiety Scale; Zung, 1971) (N= 552). Results supported Jackson's (1971) challenge with regard to non‐empirically‐produced items as equally valid as those generated by more traditional methods. Of major interest is the finding that, unlike previous studies, nonpsychologists with no formal definition of the construct they were to measure were able to write items that were as valid as those elicited from psycho
