We explored the reliability and validity of Kasahara's scale of melancholic type of personality (KMT) in a German sample population. Subjects comprised 66 patients diagnosed with an affective disorder (F3, ICD-10) and 94 controls. Concerning reliability, KMT scores showed internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.65 for patients and 0.67 for controls. The KMT items, except for number 13 in controls, showed significant item-total correlations. In a test-retest procedure, the KMT total score and individual item scores were statistically similar and correlated. These results indicate reliability of the KMT. Concerning validity, KMT scores were significantly higher in patients than in controls. By controlling the effects of age and sex, partial correlation coefficients in a comparison of KMT and Zerssen's F-List (F-List) scores were 0.40 in patients and 0.53 in controls. These results show both the constructive and concurrent validity of the KMT. Sufficient reliability and validity of the KMT were shown in this German sample population to encourage cross-cultural investigation of Typus melancholicus.
我们在德国样本人群中探究了笠原抑郁型人格量表（KMT）的信度和效度。研究对象包括66例被诊断为情感障碍（F3，国际疾病分类第10版）的患者和94名对照者。关于信度，KMT得分显示出内部一致性，患者的克朗巴赫α系数为0.65，对照者为0.67。除对照者中的第13项外，KMT各条目显示出显著的条目与总分相关性。在重测过程中，KMT总分和各条目得分在统计学上相似且具有相关性。这些结果表明KMT具有信度。关于效度，患者的KMT得分显著高于对照者。通过控制年龄和性别的影响，在比较KMT和泽尔森F量表（F量表）得分时，患者的偏相关系数为0.40，对照者为0.53。这些结果显示了KMT的结构效度和同时效度。在这个德国样本人群中，KMT表现出了足够的信度和效度，这鼓励对抑郁型人格进行跨文化研究。
