Reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Interpersonal Stress-Coping Inventory for undergraduates / 中国心理卫生杂志

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Interpersonal Stress-Coping Inventory for Undergraduates(ISI).Methods:Totally 421 college students of 1～3 grades in two colleges of Anhui province were selected.They were asked to complete the ISI and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ)at the same time to test the reliability and validity of ISI.Two weeks later,52 of them were retested to test the re-test reliability.Results:Cronbach α of the Chinese version of ISI was 0.79,re-test reliability was 0.87.ISI Scores were correlated with SCSQ scores(r=0.69).Exploratory factor analysis was applied to the data,and three subscales were derived:positive coping,negative coping,and dilution coping.The factor loadinps were 0.41～0.68.The explained variances were 14.82,14.10,and 7.06 respectively.Conclusion:The Chinese version of Interpersonal Stress-Coping Inventory has good psychometric quality and can be used in Chinese undergraduates of interpersonal stress coping research.

Psychological Study of Dermographism Patients / 대한피부과학회지

The subjects of the present study was 300 out-patients and 304 people living in similar condition. The SCL-90(symptom check list-90) questionare was used and the two groups were compared by many factors. The rcsults were as follows. 1. All dimensional values of the dermographism group were much higher than the normal group except obsessive-compulsive dimension. The order of significance: Paranoid ideation, interpersonal sensitivity somatization, depression, anxiety, hostility and phobic anxiety(p<0. 01), The result indicates a significantly high incidence of psychological problems among dermographism patients. 2. In the dermographism group, the patients over 30 years old had significantly higher. scores in depression, anxiety, hostility and psychoticism. 3. Male patents showed significantly higher scores than female in paranoid ideation. 4. The unmarried patients had significantly higher scores in dcpression, para noid ideation and psychoticism. 5. Thc longer the duration of the disease was the higher the scores were. 6, There were no significant differences in educational status, family history, the job at onset of the disease, and the accuracy of understanding about the disease.

Psychological Study of Psoriatic Patients / 대한피부과학회지

The subjects of the present study were 111 patients admitted to a hospital and 304 healthy people living in similar condition. A self report symptom inventory, SCL-90(symptom check list-90) was used and the two groups were analysed and compared by many factors. The results of theis study are as follows. 1. All dimensional values of the psoriasis group were much higher than the normal healthy group. In order of significance: depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, psychotism, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, and somatization(all p<0.01). This result indicates a significantly heightened incidence of psychological problems among psoriatic patients. 2. There were significant differences between each clinical type. As a whole, common and pustular types showed highter dimensional scores than guttate type. 3. In the psoriasis group, subjects over 30 years old had higher scores except in somatization and paranoid ideation dimensions. However there was no significant relationship between age and dimensional scores. 4. Female psoriatic patients showed higher values than male patients on all dimensions excopt paranoid ideation. T verification showed significance in depression and hostility (p<0.05). 5. Analysed by marital status, generally unmarried patients had higher dimensional scores than married patients, but there was no significant differences. 6. In contrast with the control group, psoriatic patients of low educational status showed higher dimensional scores than patients of high educational status. 7. Analysed by job at onset of disease, student patients showed the lowest scores. There were significant differences for somatization(p<0.01) and paranoid (p<0.05) dimensional scores. 8. Analysed by the age of onset of disease, the patients who developed psoriasis before 20 years of ages showed higher dimensional scores than the patients, after 20 years of age. 9. Compared according to duration of the disease, dimensional scores rose in patients under 1 year duration decreased in patients of 1 to 2 years' duration and rose again in parients over 3 years' duratio. 10. As the accuracy of understanding about the disease decreased, the dimensional scores tended to be higher.
