“…Psychotic Reaction Profile. This 85‐item schedule [Lorr et al (9) revised by Rhetts for this study] is designed for use by psychiatric aides and nurses to rate patients according to statements referrable to the patient's ward behavior, on a true or not true basis. Four factors have been derived which measure withdrawal, thinking disorder, paranoid belligerence and agitated depression. .…”

“…Lorr and Klett (1965) have recently found statistical support for this observation in a large-scale survey in which psychotic women were shown to exhibit more excitement than psychotic men, whereas the men manifested a higher degree of retardation and apathy. In a related study using a Ward Behavior Scale, Lorr, O'Connor, and Stafford (1960) reported women were higher on a measure of hostile belligerence, denned as hostile, irritable, resistive, noisy, bossy, and paranoid behavior. That is, women showed assertive and interpersonally disruptive behavior that is quite the opposite of expected female sex-role behavior.…”

Sex-typed reactions are contrasted in male and female normals and chronic schizophrenics. In general, the schizophrenics show sex-role alienation on tests which contain a self-image reference (a Role Playing Test, a Body Parts Acceptance Test, and a Figure Preference Test), Female schizophrenics tend to react in a more assertive manner like normal males, and male schizophrenics in a more sensitive manner like normal females. In a direct test of assertive vs. yielding story sequences on the TAT, the sex-difference reversal is significant only if housewives are used as normal female controls. The inclination of female schizophrenics toward assertive story sequences is matched by a similar inclination in career women, suggesting this role reversal is not as critical to the schizophrenic condition as the self-image disturbance. In conscious sex-typed interests and attitudes, schizophrenics do not differ from normals. A theory is proposed relating schizophrenia to sex-identity alienation in the early years of life.

“…The study reported here represents an effort to further the development of a quantitative polydimensional conceptualization of observable ward behaviors. The major aims of the experiment were (a) to test for the ward symptom patterns identified in an earlier study (Lorr & O'Connor, 1962), and (b) to identify any higher level ward patterns measured by the Psychotic Reaction Profile (PRP) (Lorr, O'Connor & Stafford, 1960).…”
