The hospital records of 1687 psychiatric patients were rated for the presence of assaultive or other fear-inducing behaviors associated with the reasons for their hospital admissions. Data analyses indicated that significant associations existed between these behaviors and sex, race/ethnicity, diagnosis, previous admissions, referral source for hospitalization, legal status at admission, and legal status at discharge. No associations were found for age, education, marital status, employment status, number of days hospitalized during the index hospitalization, and referral at discharge. A comparison of these results with the results of studies by other investigators led to the conclusion that clinical variables appear to have a more consistent relation to violent behavior than demographic variables. Future research examining for the correlates of violent behavior in psychiatric patients may be more productive by focusing on the type and degree of patients' psychopathologies rather than on patients' demographic characteristics.
对1687名精神病患者的医院记录进行评级，以确定与他们入院原因相关的攻击性行为或其他引发恐惧行为的存在情况。数据分析表明，这些行为与性别、种族/民族、诊断、既往入院情况、住院转诊来源、入院时的法律状态以及出院时的法律状态之间存在显著关联。未发现与年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况、就业状况、本次住院期间的住院天数以及出院转诊有关联。将这些结果与其他研究人员的研究结果进行比较后得出结论，临床变量似乎比人口统计学变量与暴力行为的关系更为一致。未来针对精神病患者暴力行为相关因素的研究，通过关注患者精神病理学的类型和程度而非患者的人口统计学特征，可能会更有成效。
