A recent study found factored measures of patient's expectancies for therapeutic gain significantly correlated with 1 of 15 objective measures of treatment outcome for the hospitalized patients. A subsequent study of the same relationship that used unfactored expectancy measured with a diagnostically homogenous sample of patients found the patients' expectancies significantly correlated with 10 of the same 15 measures of improvement. This study reexamined the initial expectancy-improvement data using unfactored measures of expectancy. The overall results showed that characteristics of samples of Ss and the adequacy of expectancy measures both significantly influence the results of tests of the expectancy-improvement relationship.
最近一项研究发现，患者对治疗获益预期的综合测量指标与住院患者15项治疗结果客观测量指标中的1项显著相关。随后一项针对相同关系的研究，使用未综合的预期测量方法，并以诊断上同质的患者样本进行研究，发现患者预期与15项改善测量指标中的10项显著相关。本研究使用未综合的预期测量指标重新审视了最初的预期-改善数据。总体结果表明，被试样本的特征以及预期测量指标的充分性均对预期-改善关系检验的结果产生显著影响。
