This paper reports the relationship between Set 2 of the Depression Adjective Check Lists and the Self-rating Depression Scale. Psychiatric inpatients (Admission Wards, N = 51; Intensive Treatment Wards, N = 54) and 47 student nurses completed the DACL and the SDS which were presented in random order. All rs among the 3 lists of Set 2 of the DACL and the SDS total score were significant ( p = .01). All rs between the 3 DACLs and SDS factors (Pervasive Affect, Physiological Equivalents, and Psychological Equivalents) were significant, except that rs between Pervasive Affect and DACLs were not significant for the student nurse group. As Pervasive Affect seems to refer to the chronicity of the syndrome, the nonsignificant rs for this group are expected.
Self-administered and examiner-administered Depression Adjective Check Lists were compared. One half of each equivalent form A, B, C, D was administered in the standard manner and one half was read by the examiner to 64 male and 64 female psychiatric inpaticnts. The Wechslcr Adult Intelligence Scale Vocabulary subtest was administered at the same time. A repeated measures analysis of variance revealed no significant effects for vocabulary (median split), sex, or method of administration. The significant main effect of lists seems best understood as a chance finding. The results support the use of the examiner-administered method in cases of functional illiteracy.
Ss were exposed to an autokinetic device under 4 color conditions (blue, green, red, and white). Latency of the phenomenon was reliable. Color had no effect on the latency scores of most Ss; however, 4 Ss gave no movement responses to the red color.
