  • Measuring medical students' empathy skills

    Open AccessBarry J Evans, Robb O Stanley et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Medical…1993

    Empathy is an important skill for the medical practitioner or medical students to develop when interviewing patients. It helps the interviewer establish effective communication, which is important for accurate diagnosis and patient management. Two facets of medical education limit students' development of accurate empathy: the traditional format of interviewing training and the social ethos of medical training and medical practice, which stress c…

  • The Relationship between Three Multidimensional Locus of Control Scales

    Open AccessGraeme Hyman, Graeme J Hyman et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1991

    A number of different multi-dimensional scales have been developed to measure the locus of control construct. This study examined three of these scales, Levenson's Locus of Control Scale (LOC), based on Social Learning theory, the Trent Attributional Profile (TAP) and Multidimensional-Multiattributional Causality Scales (MMCS) both based on the attributional perspective. A total of 161 undergraduate students with a mean age of 23.1 (SD = 8.19) pr…

  • Profile of Mood States

    Kate Moore, Kathleen Moore et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1990

    The Profile of Mood States was administered to 90 Australian women, 30 depressed, 30 anxious, and 30 nonpsychiatric controls. Both clinical groups scored higher than the McNair, Lorr, and Droppleman (1971) normative samples on the negative mood states and scored lower on Vigor. The means for these groups are presented and compared with the 1971 normative data of McNair, Lorr, and Droppleman

  • Scores on the Profile of Nonverbal Sensitivity

    Open AccessBarry J Evans, Greg J Coman et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1988

    Scores of a sample of Australian medical students on the Profile of Nonverbal Sensitivity are compared with the normative data. The comparison suggests that these medical students' scores are generally slightly higher than those of the normative group but comparable to those of USA college and medical student samples. A comparison of 4th and 6th Year medical student samples indicated no differences between measures. These data will be further use…

  • Scores on the Interpersonal Reactivity Index

    Open AccessGreg J Coman, Barry J Evans et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1988

    Scores of a sample of 113 Australian medical students on the Interpersonal Reactivity Index are compared with the normative data. The comparison suggests that these medical students' scores are generally comparable. A comparison of 4th and 6th Year clinical students indicated few differences between these samples, the exception being the subscale “Fantasy” on which 6th Year women students scored significantly higher than the other three student s…

  • Comparison of Skills Related to Effectiveness of Consultations

    Open AccessBarry J Evans, Robb O Stanley et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    For a sample of 70 Australian medical students scores on tests of empathy and nonverbal sensitivity are compared with scores of the original normative groups for the tests. On the empathy measure, the present sample showed scores consistent with the norm group in each category except Personal Distress. Scores on the test of nonverbal sensitivity were generally consistent with data from a range of norm groups

  • A communication skills programme for increasing patients' satisfaction with general practice consultations

    Open AccessBarry J Evans, F D Kiellerup et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Medical…1987Cited by: 7

    The research literature on patient perceptions of general practice consultations shows that, while patients are generally satisfied with the treatment they receive from doctors, they report less satisfaction with the amount and clarity of information they receive and doctors' expression of caring and respect. In the surgery, inadequate information transmission during the interaction also has the effect of increasing the level of anxiety reported …

  • Health Locus of Control

    Open AccessRobb O Stanley, Graeme Hyman et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1984

    A correlational analysis of the unidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale with the multidimensional Levenson Locus of Control Scale indicated that the area-specific scale relates to ‘Chance’ and ‘Internal’ attributions of influence in health. The correlation with ‘Powerful Others’ dimension of Levenson did not approach significance ( ns = 106 men, 59 women, 17 to 21 yr. old)

  • Levenson's Locus of Control Scale

    Open AccessRobb O Stanley, Graeme Hyman et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1983

    A comparison of forced-choice response format with the usual Likert-type scale for the 1974 Levenson Locus of Control Scale indicates the alternative Yes/No format is sufficiently similar to be considered. This alternative is significantly correlated ( r = .55 to .77) with the original, for all subscales ( ns = 117 men, 66 women, 17 to 21 yr. old)
