We evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of the Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles (PICTS; Walters, 1995) in a group of 199 maximum security prisoners. As anticipated, the PICTS Confusion scale correlated with the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991) Negative Impression scale, whereas the PICTS Defensiveness scale paralleled the PAI Positive Impression scale. Also as predicted, a greater portion of the PICTS thinking style scales correlated with the PAI Antisocial Features scale than correlated with the PAI Somatic Complaints, Anxiety, Depression, Mania, Paranoia, and Schizophrenia scales. When the PICTS composite scales were converged onto behavioral indexes, modest statistically significant relationships surfaced between the PICTS Reactive scale and a record of disciplinary infractions and between the PICTS Proactive scale and program completion.
我们在199名高度设防监狱囚犯组成的群体中，评估了《犯罪思维方式心理量表》（PICTS；沃尔特斯，1995年）的聚合效度和区分效度。正如预期的那样，PICTS混淆量表与《人格评估量表》（PAI；莫雷，1991年）负面印象量表相关，而PICTS防御性量表与PAI正面印象量表平行。同样如预测的那样，与PAI躯体主诉、焦虑、抑郁、躁狂、偏执和精神分裂症量表相比，PICTS思维方式量表中更大比例的量表与PAI反社会特征量表相关。当将PICTS综合量表与行为指标进行聚合时，PICTS反应性量表与违纪记录之间以及PICTS主动性量表与项目完成情况之间出现了适度的统计学显著关系。
