Comprehensive Handbook of Psychopathology
Relationship of Psychiatric Status to Gulf War Veterans' Health Problems
OBJECTIVE: A growing body of research has shown that there are important links between certain psychiatric disorders and health symptom reporting. Two disorders in particular (posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression) have been the most widely implicated to date, and this association has sometimes been used to explain the occurrence of ill-defined medical problems and increased somatic symptoms in certain groups, most recently Gu…
War‐Zone Trauma and Stress‐Related Symptoms in Operation Desert Shield/Storm (ODS) Returnees
A growing literature suggests that human beings are often negatively impacted by participation in military combat, but there have been few attempts to document the psychological effects of war stress in the masses of troops deployed to action. We chose to study the relationship of Operation Desert Shield/Storm (ODS) participation and symptoms of psychological distress in a comparison of 215 Army National Guard and Army Reserve troops who were act…
Mmpi Profiles of Veterans of Wwii and Korea
Mmpi Profiles of Veterans of WWII and Korea
MMPI profile patterns were compared between combat veteran groups of 168 POW survivors and 67 servicemen who were not war captives in WWII and the Korean Conflict. Results confirm previous reports that the scales, Hypochondriasis (Hs), Depression (D), and Hysteria (Hy), are characteristically elevated among former POWs. Findings also point to the contribution of scales, Psychasthenia (Pt), Paranoia (Pa), and Ego Strength (Es), in differentiating …
Person and Situation Correlates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Pow Survivors
131 former POWs assigned PTSD diagnoses were distinguished from 62 of their nondiagnosed counterparts by greater stressor severity reflected in measures of confinement weight loss and psychological and biological hardship as well as person characteristics of less socioeconomic advantage and lower military rank
Chronic Illicit Drug Abusers
The hypothesis that female illicit drug abusers are more psychologically deviant than their male counterparts was explored by comparing groups of 121 male and 33 female therapeutic community residents on single and global measures of psychopathology and person characteristics relevant to drug abuse. Groups did not differ on such potentially confounding variables as education, intelligence, time in treatment, and ethnic composition. Gender groups …
Personality Relationships among Parents and Adolescent Offspring in Inpatient Treatment
The present investigation examined relationships between personality characteristics of 51 adolescents hospitalized for psychiatric treatment and their biological parents. Family members were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) within one week of adolescent hospital admission. Pearson product-moment correlations were performed for all possible group comparisons on each MMPI scale. Analysis of variance of difference…
Male Student Professionals
The predominantly male professions of law and medicine have wielded a powerful influence on the definition of accepted roles and behavior for women in American society. It, therefore, seemed reasonable to examine attitudes toward women, permissible sexual expression, and adherence to tradition among male representatives of these professional groups. A sample of 135 medical and 62 law students responded to paper-and-pencil surveys of attitudes on …
Delay of Information in Paired-Associate Learning among Incarcerated Groups of Sociopaths and Heroin Addicts
The present study investigated the effects of information delay or delay of reinforcement on rate of acquisition in a paired-associate learning task using the anticipation method and appearance of the S-R term as knowledge of results in three groups of socially deviant males. Sociopaths, sociopathic addicts, and nonsociopathic controls ( n = 90) practiced on a paired-associate task under three conditions of reinforcement: nondelay, 4-sec. delay, …
Self-Reported Fears and Electrodermal Responsiveness of High and Low Trait Anxious Subjects to Fear of Failure and Other Stressors
This investigation examined the relationship between self-reported fears on the Wolpe-Lang Fear Survey Schedule and scores on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) among hospitalized male veterans and evaluated the effects of threat of failure and loss of self-esteem on the electrodermal activity of 32 male college students classified as high or low trait anxious. Results showed a significant relationship between trait anxiety and fearfulness …
MMPI Indices of Personality Change following Short- and Long-Term Hospitalization of Heroin Addicts
The present investigation examined test-retest MMPI profile patterns for two highly similar groups of hardcore heroin addicts: 30 clients admitted to 6-mo. hospitalization in the NIMH Clinical Research Center, Fort Worth and 28 addicts confined approximately 6 wk. in an inpatient hospital setting. MMPI changes following hospitalization were characterized by decreases in scale scores on almost every clinical scale with higher elevations on scales …
Field observations of a heroin addict
Incarcerated and Street Heroin Addicts
This investigation examined the personality characteristics of unincarcerated street addicts as compared with two groups of prisoners: those admitting a history of heroin addiction and inmates who had never experimented significantly with opium derivatives. Although the three groups did not differ on such variables as age, education, or level of intellectual functioning and were markedly antisocial as measured by felony convictions and test indic…
Prediction of socially maladaptive behavior within a state prison system
Sociopathy and serial learning of CVC combinations with high and low social content ratings
Religious Preference, Practice, and Personal Sexual Attitudes and Behavior
This study was conducted to investigate the influence of religious affiliation and religiosity upon reported sexual attitudes and behavior in the South. A Sexual Attitude Survey (SAS) was administered to 509 undergraduate students, divided into Catholics, Protestants, Jews, and nonbelievers and further classified by frequency of monthly church attendance. Results indicated that college men are more sexually liberal than college women regardless o…
Personal Sexual Attitudes and Behavior in Blacks and Whites
A Sexual Attitude Survey was administered to 79 black and 118 white college students. Reported sexual attitudes and behavior among black males were significantly more liberal than those of black females, white females, and white males
