This study investigated the construct validity of a measure of Karen Horney's (1945) psychoanalytic theory that postulated three neurotic trends: compliant, aggressive, and detached. Her theory was operationalized by the Horney-Coolidge Type Indicator (HCTI). One hundred seventy-two adults completed the HCTI and the short form of the Coolidge Axis II Inventory, a measure of the three DSM-IV personality disorder clusters. Multiple regression and canonical correlation analyses revealed significant and differential patterns of the three HCTI dimensions with the three clusters. Because Paris (1994) has noted that Horney's neurotic trends may today be conceived of as personality disorders, one implication of the present findings is that Horney's dynamic theory can be valid and useful in the general understanding of personality disorders from a cluster perspective.
本研究调查了卡伦·霍妮（1945年）精神分析理论中一种测量方法的结构效度，该理论假设了三种神经质倾向：顺从型、攻击型和超脱型。她的理论通过霍妮-柯立芝类型指标（HCTI）进行操作化。172名成年人完成了HCTI和柯立芝轴II量表简版，后者是对DSM-IV中三种人格障碍类别的一种测量。多元回归和典型相关分析揭示了HCTI三个维度与这三个类别之间显著且不同的模式。由于巴黎（1994年）指出，如今霍妮的神经质倾向可能被视为是人格障碍，本研究结果的一个含义是，霍妮的动力学理论从类别角度对人格障碍的总体理解中可能是有效且有用的。
