A Delinquency Scale (Peterson, Quay, & Cameron, 1959), the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (Taylor, 1953), and the Gordon Personal Inventory (Gordon, 1956) were administered in random order to 609 Federal Reformatory residents. Several other test and demographic measures were obtained for each S from reformatory records. Product-moment intercorrelations among variables ( p = .01), defined those relationships statistically different from zero. The results failed to demonstrate a consistency, or invariance, with those relationships observed by Quay, Peterson, and Consalvi (1960). The data suggest that Psychopathy and Neuroticism, as measured by the Delinquency Scale, are not independent factors, and both appear, instead, to assess a personality dimension best described as the “acting-out neurotic.” The data also provide discriminative validity information for the various subscales of the Gordon Personal Inventory, substantiating Gordon's (1956) original construct labels.

Pendidikan kesehatan merupakan cara penyampaian informasi kesehatan yang mudah diterima oleh ibu hamil dengan berbagai media yang digunakan. Masalah emosional yang terjadi pada kehamilan trimester III adalah perasaan cemas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa pengaruh pendidikan kesehatan menggunakan metode cemarah dan leaflet terhadap tingkat kecemasan ibu hamil trimester III. Penelitian Quasi Experiment dengan pre-test dan post-test group sebanyak 48 responden dengan teknik Purposive Sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengukur skala kecemasan Taylor Manifest Anxiety  Scale (TMAS). Analisis data menggunakan Paired T test dan Independen T test. Hasil penelitian di dapatkan ada perbedaan tingkat kecemasan ibu hamil trimester III sesudah diberikan pendidikan kesehatan dengan menggunakan metode ceramah dan leaflet dengan nilai p =0,000. Pendidikan kesehatan yang diberikan pada ibu hamil saat melakukan pelayanan antenatal terbukti mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu hamil terhadap kehamilannya. Leaflet sangat efektif untuk menyampaikan pesan singkat dan padat media ini juga mudah dibawa dan disebarluaskan karena ukurannya lebih ringkas dan jumlah yang dibawa lebih banyak dari pada poster.

460 of 1025 contacted individuals completed the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and a questionnaire on smoking behavior. The data indicated that smokers, as a group, scored higher on the anxiety scale than nonsmokers. No support for the notion of a significant correlation between amount of smoking and level of anxiety was obtained. Ss reported increases in smoking behavior during periods of stress but indicated that these increases were usually not maintained beyond the period of stress.

When the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale and the Cassel and Kahn Group Personality Projective Test were administered to 92 college students, no significant correlations among scores were found. Between the Tension Reduction Quotient and the Total score of the GPPT r = .84 (Class I), .98 (Class II). The freshmen scored significantly higher on both tests than the normative groups or the upper classmen. There was no significant difference in MAS variance for the students and the normative group, but 5 of 8 GPPT variances were significantly different for the students and the normative group. Thus, manifest and projective anxiety are different measures. TRQ predicts the Total score of the GPPT pretty well, and freshmen have higher anxiety but not more heterogeneous anxiety than the other groups.

SummaryThe use of cerebral electrotherapy (CET) in methadone detoxification was studied in 28 patients. Fourteen patients received active CET; the other 14 acted as controls and received either simulated CET or only methadone detoxification therapy. One patient dropped out of the study. The Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale were administered before and after the study period. Nine of the patients receiving active CET were drug-free by the end of 8 to 10 days, and all experienced a marked reduction of their symptoms; the control group did not show significant changes. CET was clearly beneficial in the treatment of patients undergoing methadone withdrawal.
