The perceptual behavior of process and reactive schizophrenics under neutral and stress conditions suggests an hypothesis that the former employ a repressive ego defensive mode in these conditions while reactives employ a sensitization mode. The Repression-Sensitization scale of the MMPI was administered to a sample of hospitalized process and reactive schizophrenics to test the hypothesis. Scores of the process group did not indicate modal repression. Reactives' scores were, however, well toward the sensitization pole and significantly higher than those of the process group. Results support the concept of a sensitization defensive mode as a characteristic dimension in the etiology of reactive schizophrenia.
过程型和反应型精神分裂症患者在中性和应激条件下的感知行为表明了一种假设，即前者在这些条件下采用压抑性自我防御模式，而反应型患者采用敏感化模式。对一组住院的过程型和反应型精神分裂症患者进行了明尼苏达多相人格量表（MMPI）的压抑-敏感化量表测试，以检验该假设。过程型组的得分并未显示出典型的压抑。然而，反应型组的得分明显倾向于敏感化一端，且显著高于过程型组。结果支持了敏感化防御模式这一概念，将其作为反应型精神分裂症病因学中的一个特征维度。
