摘要:

AbstractInvestigated the effects of unilateral left (UL), unilateral right (UR), and bilateral (B) ECT on the performance of right‐handed male patients on the Wechsler Memory Scale and two tests of the Williams battery, which provided eight independent measures of verbal memory and two of visual‐spatial memory. Patients were tested three times: (1) within I week prior to ECT;(2) within 30 minutes after the sixth ECT; (3) 10 days after the sixth ECT. Double blind procedures were maintained carefully. Results showed a significant loss on second testing followed by a significant improvement 10 days later for all ECT groups compared with matched controls. There was some tendency for the UR group to show the least impairment on verbal measures and the UL group to show the least impairment on visual‐spatial memory test of the WMS, but most of the differences between UL and UR groups and between each of these and the B group were not significant. The most sensitive test in differentiating among the ECT groups was the brief Verbal Learning subtest of the Williams ba

摘要:

AbstractInvestigated the relationship between depression and daydreming character istics in a non‐hospitalized sample. Level of depression was determined by the Beck Depression Inventory, the Zung Self‐Rating Depression Scale, and the Lubin Depression Adjective Check Lists. Daydreaming characteristics were determined from a self‐report retrospective questionnaire, the Imaginal Processes Inventory. The sample consisted of 91 university undergraduates and 29 male correctional institution inmates. The full‐scale global measures of depression were found to be related directly to the neurotic, anxious, dysphoric, and negative dimension of daydreaming. Specific direct relationships were noted between mental agitation and distractibility, between indecisivenesspersonal devaluation and mental slowing, and between personal devaluation poor body image and fear of failure daydreams. Inverse relationships were noted between a sense of punishment and useful‐positive aspects of daydreaming and between psychomotor‐activity level and internally stimulated mental activity. The suicidal ambivalance, appetite‐weight loss and fatigability dimensions of depression were found to be unrelated t

摘要:

AbstractCompared Halstead‐Reitan Battery scores of hospitalized male schizophrenics with scores of normals and brain‐damagedSs to determine performance patterns that differentiate the groups. Schizophrenics performed less well than normals on the Categories, TPT‐Memory, and TPT‐Location subtests and better than brain‐damagedSs on all subtests except Categories. In general, the effects of medication produced nonsignifican

摘要:

AbstractInvestigated the relationship between childhood onychophagia (fingernail biting) and the suicidal and non‐suicidal mean age among 60 hospitalized neurotic veterans. The results show no significant mean age difference between suicidal and non‐suicidal veterans; neither does the childhood onychophagia variable “focal suicide” significantly lower either the mean age of suicidal veterans or the mean age of non‐suicidal

摘要:

AbstractVerbal conditioning of male and female schizophrenics and nonschizophrenics was observed asSs sat at different distances and orientations from anEwho delivered a positive word/positive tone reinforcer (“Good!”). Results indicated that the presence vs. absence of diagnostic differences in learning depended on (a) the sex of theSs; and (b) the distance thatSs sat from theE. The absence of overall diagnostic group differences in learning and the finding that in some proxemic conditions schizophrenics learned more than nonschizophrenics are consistent with the view that under appropriate conditions schizophrenics emit behaviors that are incompatible with an assumption of schizophrenic defi

摘要:

AbstractDuration of a tachistoscopically presented dark dot was estimated by schizophrenics and alcoholics. The dot was preceded by the auditory warning signal of viariable duration of up to 9 seconds. The duration of the warning signal constituted foreperiod duration. Estimation was a monotonically increasing function of foreperiod duration for both schizophrenics and alcoholics when the probability distribution of foreperiods was constant. However, this monotonicity was eliminated when changes in foreperiod duration became infrequent. When intrusion of extraneous stimulus accompanied such infrequent changes, the effect of foreperiod duration on estimation of stimulus duration became curvilinear, with the maximum estimation at the mid‐range. For alcoholics, the monotonically increasing effect of foreperiod duration was independent of relative frequency of foreperiod changes and intrusion of extraneous stimulus. Weakness and instability of time expectancy as characteristics unique to schizophrenia were demonstrate

AbstractWillingness to admit that have a signifiant effect on behavioral outcomes of hospitalized psychiatric patients. Specifically, patients who admitted emotional problems were more likely to want to change than non‐admitters. Further, admitters stayed in the hospital a significantly shorter time and were less likely to return to the hospital within a year than patients not willing to admit problems. Other similar findigs indicated that admitting problems and desire to change were better predictors of patiens' outcome than staff physicians' opinion

摘要:

AbstractCompared 40 violent and 40 nonviolent male prisoners on a 31‐variable neuropsychological test battery and the MMPI. The two groups differed significantly in their responses to both neuropsychological tests and the MMPI.Ss could be classified correctly as violent or nonviolent with 95% accuracy by use of the neuropsychological test battery alone. The MMPI alone correctly classed 79%. The relative behavioral impairment seen on neuropsychological tests in interpreted as part of a general pattern of poor intellectual integration cortical inhibition associated with the presumed presumbed grater prevalence of brain dysfunction in samples of violeng persons. Simple and rather specific perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor tests such as found in neuropsychological assessment batteies add significnatly to the identification of potentially violent persons and appear more powerful for this purpose than personality inventorie

摘要:

AbstractDemonstrates that the Bem Sex‐Role Inventory (BSRI) masculinity (M), femininity (F), and Androgyny scores reflect a bipolar dimension rather than two independent dimensions and their unique derivative. The mean endorsement of the BSRI M and F items was calculated for 50 males and 50 females separately and as a combined group. The BSRI M and F items then were scored in a bipolar fashion. A total Bipolar Androgyny score was calculated for eachSby summing theS's Bipolar Androgyny scores on the M and F items. The data indicated that (1) Bem's M scores and the derived Bipolar Androgyny scores based on Bem's M items were highly correlated (≃ 0.90); (2) Bem's F scores and the Bipolar Androgyny scores based on Bem's F items were highly correlated (≃ 0.90); and (3) Bem's Androgyny scores and the total Bipolar Androgyny scores were highly correlated (≃ 0.90). These results indicate that the BSRI Androgyny score reflects a bipolar di

摘要:

AbstractPatients who were complaining of neurologic symptomatology completed the MMPI Mini‐Mult plus the Shaw and Matthews Pseudo‐Neurologic Scale to determine whether Pseudo‐Neurologic and Neurologic patients could be separated. This was done with statistical significance, but not with clinical utility. There were no significant differences among the mean Mini‐Mult profiles for the neurologic subcategory groups. Mean profiles for the Neurologic, Pseudo‐Neurologic, and Mixed groups also were not significantly different, but analyses of the individual profiles in the Neurologic and Pseudo‐Neurologic groups produced statistical and clinical significance. Presenting complaints of allSs were investigated to see whether the Scale could predict differentially for patients in each of these groups. Only the complaint of weakness predicted with statistical significance and clinical utility. Attempts to create a new, more effective scale were disappointing despite statistical significance as misclassification decreased clini
