The relation between staff members' feelings toward a patient and their own and the patient's self-image in different gender combination groups was studied. Staff at 16 psychiatric treatment homes for patients with severe psychopathology reported their feelings toward their patients on a number of occasions. At the start of treatment, both staff members and patients rated their self-images using the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB). Male staff seemed less influenced by the patient, with their feelings relating mainly to aspects of their own self-image, while the feelings of the female staff were more related to the patient's self-image. The patient's diagnosis was less important for a staff member's feelings than that member's self-image. Generally, the relation between feelings and self-image was stronger for negative feelings. The results point to the importance of understanding more about the influence of staff members' self-structure on their negative feelings toward their patients and how this relates to both the staff member's and patient's gender.
研究了不同性别组合群体中工作人员对患者的感受与他们自身以及患者自我形象之间的关系。16家收治严重精神病理学患者的精神病治疗机构的工作人员多次报告了他们对患者的感受。在治疗开始时，工作人员和患者都使用社会行为结构分析（SASB）对他们的自我形象进行了评分。男性工作人员似乎受患者的影响较小，他们的感受主要与自身自我形象的方面有关，而女性工作人员的感受则更多地与患者的自我形象有关。对工作人员的感受而言，患者的诊断不如该工作人员的自我形象重要。一般来说，负面感受与自我形象之间的关系更强。结果表明，更深入了解工作人员的自我结构对其对患者的负面感受的影响以及这与工作人员和患者性别的关系具有重要意义。
