To examine the effects of three modes of nursing attire on the behaviors, e.g., aggressive behavior, leaving the unit against medical advice, of psychiatric inpatients, nurses were clad in white uniforms for 6 wk., then in street clothes for 6 wk., optional dress for 6 wk., street clothes for 3 wk., white uniforms for 3 wk., and optional dress for 3 wk. Data from each mode were combined, yielding three experimental conditions. Results showed the greatest rates of maladaptive behaviors occurred during the white uniforms condition followed by the optional and street clothes conditions, respectively. An explanation of this outcome based upon patient's expectations was presented.
为了研究三种护理着装模式对精神科住院患者行为（如攻击行为、擅自离院）的影响，护士先穿白色制服6周，然后穿便服6周，再穿自选服装6周，接着穿便服3周，穿白色制服3周，最后穿自选服装3周。将每种着装模式下的数据合并，得出三种实验条件。结果显示，适应不良行为发生率最高的是穿白色制服的阶段，其次分别是穿自选服装和便服的阶段。基于患者期望对这一结果进行了解释。
