Evaluated Recruit Temperament Survey (RTS) responses and aptitude test scores as potential predictors of psychiatric illness among 1,082 Navy hospital corpsmen. Twenty-six RTS items discriminated significantly between those corpsmen who became psychiatric casualties during a 4-year criterion period and those who did not; these items appeared to assess a construct of preservice personal and vocational adjustment. Scores on the aptitude measure were unrelated to illness incidence. The validity of the discriminating RTS items taken in combination for predicting psychiatric hospitalization among corpsmen was .28 with a cross-validity of .22. Implications of these findings for the use of measures such as the RTS in psychiatric screening were discussed.
评估了1082名海军医务兵的新兵气质调查问卷(RTS)回答和能力倾向测试分数,将其作为精神疾病的潜在预测指标。26个RTS项目在4年标准期内成为精神疾病患者的医务兵和未患病的医务兵之间有显著差异;这些项目似乎评估了入伍前个人和职业适应的一个结构。能力倾向测试的分数与疾病发生率无关。用于预测医务兵精神科住院情况的综合鉴别RTS项目的效度为0.28,交叉效度为0.22。讨论了这些发现对在精神科筛查中使用RTS等测量方法的启示。
