Based upon assumptions of Gestalt Therapy, an objective, reliable scoring system for analyzing a specific aspect of verbal behavior, avoidant verbalization, was developed. Verbal samples were elicited from 30 female college students who previously had been rank ordered on the Neuroticism scale of the Maudsley Personality Inventory. The expectation that psychologically stressful questions would result in a significantly greater number of avoidant verbalizations was confirmed. Contrary to another expectation, no significant correlation between neuroticism as measured by the MPI and total number of avoidant verbalizations uttered by the Ss was found. Results were interpreted on the basis of the Gestalt Therapy theory of personality.
基于格式塔疗法的假设，开发了一种用于分析言语行为特定方面（回避性言语表达）的客观、可靠的评分系统。从30名女大学生那里获取了言语样本，这些学生之前在莫兹利人格问卷的神经质量表上已被排序。心理压力大的问题会导致显著更多的回避性言语表达这一预期得到了证实。与另一个预期相反，未发现由MPI测量的神经质与被试说出的回避性言语表达总数之间存在显著相关性。研究结果是根据格式塔疗法的人格理论进行解释的。
