Administered to mental health outpatients (N = 75) who were receiving Psychotherapy the Rational Behavior Inventory as well as several other scales of psychological adjustment prior to their first therapy session. Their therapists also completed several of these scales on their clients. This procedure was repeated for a subsample upon termination of treatment. Correlations were computed among measures, and t-tests were conducted between pre- and posttreatment scores. Significant correlations were found between all measures in the expected directions, and significant pre- to post-scale differences were identified consistent with the expected effects of treatment. These results are interpreted as initial evidence for the Rational Behavior Inventory's reliability and validity with a clinical group. Future research is suggested to examine the Rational Behavior Inventory's relationship to other measures of cognitive dysfunction.
该研究针对75名接受心理治疗的心理健康门诊患者进行。在首次治疗前，这些患者接受了理性行为量表以及其他几种心理调适量表的测试。他们的治疗师也对其客户完成了其中的几种量表测试。在治疗结束时，对一个子样本重复了这一过程。计算了各项测量指标之间的相关性，并对治疗前和治疗后的分数进行了t检验。在预期方向上，所有测量指标之间都发现了显著的相关性，并且确定了量表前后的显著差异，与预期的治疗效果一致。这些结果被解释为理性行为量表在临床群体中可靠性和有效性的初步证据。建议未来的研究考察理性行为量表与其他认知功能障碍测量指标之间的关系。
