This study presents data on 280 Saudi Arabian university students regarding their perception of and concern about sociocultural changes in their society and compares their scores on these variables with their responses on psychopathology measures. Subjects wee administered an interview schedule evaluating perception of and concern (upset or not upset) about sociocultural changes, the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (Zuckerman & Lubin, 1965), the Depression Symptomatology Scale (Schwab, 1974; Schwab, Holzer, Warheit, & Schwab, 1981), and the Symptom Inventory, a measure devised for this study. The results showed that (a) substantial numbers of subjects were aware of the social and cultural transformations in Saudi Arabia, (b) depressive and psychopathological symptoms were reported by extremely higher proportions of Saudis than usually reported in other societies, and (c) higher levels of concern about sociocultural changes obtained the lowest depression scores, indicating that those not upset by social transformation were generally not depressed.
本研究呈现了280名沙特阿拉伯大学生对其社会中社会文化变化的认知与关注的数据，并将他们在这些变量上的得分与他们在精神病理学测量中的反应进行了比较。对受试者进行了一份访谈问卷，评估他们对社会文化变化的认知与关注（是否感到不安）、多重情感形容词检查表（祖克曼和卢宾，1965年）、抑郁症状量表（施瓦布，1974年；施瓦布、霍尔泽、瓦尔海特和施瓦布，1981年），以及为本研究设计的症状量表。结果显示：（a）大量受试者意识到沙特阿拉伯的社会和文化变革；（b）报告有抑郁和精神病理症状的沙特人的比例远远高于其他社会通常报告的比例；（c）对社会文化变化关注度较高的人抑郁得分最低，这表明那些对社会变革不感到不安的人通常没有抑郁。
