The Mutilation Questionnaire, (MQ) was examined in terms of its psychometric characteristics, its relation to Fear Survey Schedule-II Blood/Injury items, its ability to predict B/I-related fainting, a response common to many B I fearful persons, and its factor structure. In two separate samples of college subjects, females reported greater B/I fear than males, the distributions were positively skewed and negatively kurototic but internal consistency was adequate in both. The MQ correlated 0.75 with five B/I items taken from the FSS-II. While these two scales were comparable in assessing self-reported B/I fear, the MQ was more predictive of fainting. Discriminant analyses of the 30 MQ items in relation to prediction of subjects' faint histories resulted in 77% correct classification of faint history. However, responses to a single question concerning subjects' self assessment of B/I fear was equally as capable of classifying fainting status as the full MQ scale. Responses to the single fear question correlated 0.55 with faint history while MQ scores correlated only 0.45. Factor analyses of the MQ revealed two factors described as 'revulsion of B/I stimuli', accounting for 19% of item variance and 'fear of bodily damage', accounting for 7%. Implications of these results are discussed in terms of the FSS-II, the MQ and alternative means of B/I fear assessment.
对残缺问卷（MQ）进行了考察，内容涉及其心理测量学特征、与恐惧调查量表-II血液/受伤项目的关系、预测与血液/受伤相关的昏厥（这是许多害怕血液/受伤的人常见的反应）的能力以及其因素结构。在两个不同的大学生样本中，女性报告的血液/受伤恐惧程度高于男性，分布呈正偏态和负峰态，但两者的内部一致性都足够。MQ与从恐惧调查量表-II中选取的五个血液/受伤项目的相关系数为0.75。虽然这两个量表在评估自我报告的血液/受伤恐惧方面具有可比性，但MQ对昏厥的预测性更强。对30个MQ项目与受试者昏厥史预测的判别分析得出，对昏厥史的正确分类率为77%。然而，关于受试者对血液/受伤恐惧的自我评估的单个问题的回答，在对昏厥状态进行分类方面与完整的MQ量表同样有效。对单个恐惧问题的回答与昏厥史的相关系数为0.55，而MQ得分与昏厥史的相关系数仅为0.45。对MQ的因素分析揭示了两个因素，分别被描述为“对血液/受伤刺激的厌恶”，占项目方差的19%，以及“对身体损伤的恐惧”，占7%。从恐惧调查量表-II、MQ以及血液/受伤恐惧评估的替代方法等方面讨论了这些结果的意义。
