10 early, 10 middle, and 10 late participants in an intense, community-oriented psychotherapy (feeling therapy) were measured for differences on two standardized psychological tests (Personal Orientation Inventory and Eysenck Personality Inventory) and on responses to individual and group post-session report questionnaires. Two earlier studies had found measurable physiological changes associated with this form of therapeutic intervention and it was hypothesized that associated psychological changes might be observed. Results partially bore out this prediction; the three groups evidenced some significant differences on the Personal Orientation Inventory and Post-session Report Forms. Eysenck Personality Inventory data did not distinguish between the groups.

A major issue in evaluating innovative teaching methods has been the selection of outcome criteria. With a goal of developing students' process skills, the authors taught a clinical psychology course to undergraduates. To evaluate the course's effectiveness, Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory was utilized. There were significant changes in students' scores on 6 of the 12 scales. The implication of utilizing outcome measures consonant with the goals of a particular course was examined.

38 subjects were administered the Omnibus Personality Inventory and 91 subjects the Personal Orientation Inventory under instructions to respond to each item with one, both, or neither response alternative. Under these instructions the keyed and nonkeyed scores for some scales are not highly correlated. This finding is contrary to the forced high negative correlations resulting from the typical instructions to answer all items with only one alternative. Implications were drawn for interpreting scores and for the assessment of change.

ZusammenfassungIn der vorliegenden Untersuchung kamen zwei Persönlichkeitsfragebögen, das Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) und der Biografische Fragebogen für Alkoholabhängige (BIFA-AL). sowie ein Persönlichkeitstest, der Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), zur Anwendung. Insgesamt umfasste die klinische Studie 88 Versuchspersonen: 44 depressive Patienten und 44 in Bezug auf Alter, Geschlecht und Schulbildung parallelisierte gesunde Probanden. Die Ergebnisse des TAT zeigen, dass sich die Patienten in ihren Fantasiegeschichten von ihrer depressiven Einstellungen lösen. Die Bildtafeln scheinen die Patienten zu animieren, ihre passive und negative Einstellungen aufzugeben und in ihren Fantasiegeschichten aktiv und positiv eingestellt in das Geschehen einzugreifen. In ihren Fantasiegeschichten leben sie das aus, was sie im normalen depressiven Leben nicht verwirklichen können, und verhalten sich so, wie sie gerne in Wirklichkeit wären. In den beiden Persönlichkeitsfragebögen konnten deutliche Unterschiede (höherer Neurotizismus, niedrigere Extraversion) zwischen den beiden Stichproben festgestellt werden. In der Skala „Zielgerichtetheit” des BIFA-AL erzielten die Patienten deutlich niedrigere Werte als die gesunden Probanden. Die Patienten erreichten ferner ungünstigere Werte hinsichtlich der Primärsozialisation. Sie schildern ihre Primärsozialisation deutlich ungünstiger und belastender. Vorschläge hinsichtlich psychotherapeutischer Folgerungen aus diesen Befunden werden unterbreitet.

To test the efficacy of the Personal Orientation Inventory in assessing growth in self-actualization in relation to encounter groups and to provide a more powerful measure of such changes, pre- and posttest data from 3 highly comparable encounter groups (N = 43) were combined for analysis. Results indicated that the Personal Orientation Inventory is a sensitive instrument for assessing personal growth in encounter groups and that a larger total sample size provides more significant results than those reported for small samples (e. g., fewer than 15 participants).

A validity and reliability study of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, Form A and Form B, is reported for 274 females and 303 male outpatients attending a community mental health center. Findings were similar to those published for randomized samples. The present study helped to sustain interest in the inventory as a research tool with psychological outpatients.
