A scale tapping motivation was administered to a schizophrenic group without passes and to another with passes. It did not differentiate the two groups. The hypothesis that those patients who have passes are more motivated than those patients who do not leave the hospital is rejected. It is concluded that both schizophrenic groups have a passive orientation. This contention is consistent with data on age, intelligence, and length of hospitalization. Although the scale had face validity, the performance of a normal group was compared with that of both schizophrenic groups. The normal group scored higher, suggesting the scale has some validity
