Groups of 40 psychiatric and 40 nonpsychiatric male patients were subdivided into equal groups of high and low social competence. Each patient completed a task battery which included three measures of self-image disparity and the Byrne repression-sensitization scale. High competence patients of both types were found to have higher self-image disparities than low competence patients. Psychiatric patients were found to have higher disparity scores than nonpsychiatric patients, although some evidence indicated that this was true only for the low competence groups. Higher scores on the Byrne scale (indicating sensitization) were found for high as compared to low competence patients, and for the psychiatric as compared to nonpsychiatric groups. Defensive style correlated significantly with each of the self-image measures. The results were discussed in the context of both developmental and Rogerian formulations. It was concluded that an individual's maturational level influences both self-image and defensive style, even when the individual is judged psychologically maladjusted.
将40名精神科男性患者和40名非精神科男性患者分为社会能力高和低的两组，每组人数相等。每位患者都完成了一组任务，其中包括三项自我形象差异测量和伯恩压抑-敏感量表。结果发现，两类高能力患者的自我形象差异都比低能力患者大。虽然有证据表明只有低能力组是这样，但精神科患者的差异得分高于非精神科患者。与低能力患者相比，高能力患者在伯恩量表上的得分更高（表明敏感），与非精神科组相比，精神科组的得分更高。防御风格与每项自我形象测量都显著相关。研究结果在发展理论和罗杰斯理论的背景下进行了讨论。得出的结论是，即使个体被判定为心理失调，其成熟水平也会影响自我形象和防御风格。
