Seventy-five "in country" Vietnam combat psychiatric inpatients were given a battery of measures upon admission to the medical center. These included the MMPI, VETS Adjustment Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Scale, Rotter Locus of Control, Profile of Mood Scale, and a variation of the Figley Stress Scale that measures current stress. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was determined by the MMPI-PTSD subscale. Ten of the battery variables were used as predictors for a multiple regression analysis on the MMPI-PTSD subscale. Results yielded a multiple R of .89 for two predictors, Figley Stress Scale and Rotter Locus of Control (external). Patients with PTSD, therefore, suffer most from perceived and experienced current stressors and a low sense of control. Arguments are made for more present-centered and interpersonal strategies in the treatment of PTSD combat veterans.
75名越南战争期间在当地的战斗精神病住院患者在进入医疗中心时接受了一系列测评。这些测评包括明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）、退伍军人适应量表、状态-特质焦虑量表、罗特控制点量表、情绪量表以及一种测量当前压力的菲格利压力量表变体。创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）由MMPI-PTSD分量表确定。该量表中的10个变量被用作对MMPI-PTSD分量表进行多元回归分析的预测因子。结果显示，菲格利压力量表和罗特控制点量表（外部）这两个预测因子的复相关系数R为0.89。因此，患有创伤后应激障碍的患者受当前感知到和经历的压力源以及低控制感的影响最大。文中主张在治疗患有创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人时采用更多以当前为中心的人际策略。
