State Mental

Intercorrelations among scores on the 5 factorially derived dimensions of the Opinions About Mental Illness Scale (OMI) were computed for 77 female psychiatric attendants at a large state mental hospital. Four rs were significant. However, rs were smaller and, in some cases, directionally different from those in previous studies. Type of institution sampled, temporal factors, and changes in attitude were suggested as possible explanations for these differences in intercorrelations.
