AbstractA review of the literature indicates some evidence for an association between early death of the mother and severe forms of depression in adulthood. The relationship of early parent death with later alcholism, other forms of depression, and milder effects within the general population also is suggested. A number of factors that may mitigate the long‐term effects of the loss are discussed. The experience of early parent death is conceptualized as an exceptionally visible representation of the capacity of the child to cope adaptively with developmental crisi

摘要:

AbstractThe self‐reported incidence of stress‐related symptoms was studied in 817 farm men and women and 109 urban residents. Close to 50% of the farm sample reported the frequent to constant occurrence of the symptoms of trouble relaxing, loss of temper, and fatigue. Over 30% of the farmers reported similar occurrence rates for six additional symptoms. Self‐reported symptom rates were significantly higher in farm women than in farm men, higher in younger farmers, higher in mixed farming operations, and higher in farmers who were holding off‐farm employment. Symptom scores were significantly higher in the farmers compared to the urban sample. A stepwise discriminant analysis showed that scores on five symptoms were able to distinguish meaningfully between farm and urban groups. It was suggested that the chronic stress associated with the current farm financial crisis may be causing a high self‐reported incidence of symptoms amon

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the relation between attributional cognitions, coping behavior, and self‐esteem of inpatients with severe spinal cord injuries. Thirty inpatients from rehabilitation centers were interviewed. Their coping behavior was assessed by a physician, a nurse, and a psychologist. The results showed sometimes different tendencies for the recently vs. long‐disabled patients with respect to the direction of the relation between attributional cognitions and rehabilitation outcome (coping behavior and self‐esteem). Especially noteworthy is the evident adaptiveness in the group of the long‐disabled inpatients with regard to being concerned with the causes of the accident and being concerned with the avoidability of the accident that led to the injury, while in the recently disabled group these cognitions are related to nonadaptiveness. To be concerned with the question, “Why did this have to occur to me?” was strongly related for the long‐disabled inpatients with poor coping behavior, while this was not the case for the rece

摘要:

AbstractThe Wiggins Content Scales (WCS) continue to be popular among clinicians. However, MMPI profile patterns across the basic scales have shown significant changes since the inception of the MMPI in 1937. Therefore, the possibility of similar changes on the WCS was investigated. Significant differences between the old norms and a large, randomly selected contemporary normal sample (N= 1,408) were found on 9 of the WCS for women and on 5 for men. New normative tables are presented as an aid for clinicians who use the WCS.

摘要:

AbstractA set of bipolar semantic differential type adjective scales were constructed to assess five mood states. The response format chosen serves to control for response bias, reduces the number of items by half, and measures both positive and negative affect. Each of the six bipolar mood states hypothesized was defined by seven five‐point items. Two studies were conducted on samples of high school boys (N= 210); both confirmed the presence of five mood factors: Cheerful‐Depresed, Energetic‐Tired, Good natured‐Grouchy, Confident‐Unsure, and Relaxed‐Anxious. The mood state factors isolated were compared with the scales in the Eight State Questionnaire and B

摘要:

AbstractIt was hypothesized that the Profile of Mood States (bipolar form) measures two higher‐order dimensions: Positive and Negative Affect. It also was conjectured that subjects low in self‐esteem report more Negative Affect than those high in self‐esteem. POMS and the Self‐Attitude Inventory were administered to 102 high school students. A principal component analysis of the 12 half‐scale scores of POMS isolated the two affect dimensions postulated. Tests also showed that subjects low in Confidence report significantly greater Negative Affect than subjects high in Confidence. Thus, the Watson‐Tellegen theory of affect is supported, and Negative Affect is linked to

摘要:

AbstractIn a study that used 149 university undergraduates and a 3‐week test‐retest interval, the stability of the Hopelessness Scale was examined. Scale scores and item responses demonstrated high test‐retest reliabilities. Additional analyses indicated significant sex differences on the Hopelessness Scale. It was concluded that the Hopelessness Scale's stability fulfills a prerequisite for it to be a predictor of long‐term suicid

摘要:

AbstractA sample of MMPI research published between 1970 and 1981 was analyzed to yield reliability and stability estimates for the MMPI scales. In fundamental agreement with previous research, moderately high levels of reliability and stability were found for all scales. Reliability values ranged from 0.71 to 0.84; stability values ranged from 0.63 to 0.86. These findings are based on thousands of adult subjects from college, psychiatric, medical, alcohol or drug rehabilitation, and prison populations. The present scale estimates have wide generalizability and, therefore, should be of value to clinicians and researchers in various settings.

摘要:

AbstractThe Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI) is a promising new measure of the cognitive and behavioral characteristics of anorexia nervosa and bulimia, although the replicability of its eight subscales has not been evaluated. Therefore, a factor analysis of the EDI was carried out that used the FACTOREP procedure. The results, using non‐patient responses, did not confirm the original eight subscales, but did show three clear and replicable factors to exist. It was suggested that these may be of clinical value as preliminary screening measures or as indices of response to treatment, although further validation would be required to establish their utilit
