Examined the mean DY score of various clinical and nonclinical groups (N = 855). It was significantly higher for females, whether patients or nonpatients; nonpatients with a high total score and high scores on several subscales of the Crown Crisp Experiential Index of neurotic symptomatology; psychiatric patients in general; patients and nonpatients with a high modified Zung depression score; neurotic as opposed to endogenous depressives; suicide attemptors, especially non-serious ones; Ss with early bereavement or separation particularly if followed by poor replacement care; Ss with poor quality marriages and husband dominant marriages as measured by the Ryle Marital Patterns Test. The DY Scale relates directly with the PT and D Scales and inversely with the Do Scale. Separation of the test items into those that were and were not predominantly depressive revealed that most, though not all, significant associations were due to the depressive component, which it was suggested should be markedly diminished.
研究了不同临床和非临床组（N = 855）的平均DY得分。女性的得分显著更高，无论是患者还是非患者；总分高且在神经质症状学的皇冠脆体验指数的几个子量表上得分高的非患者；一般的精神病患者；改良zung抑郁得分高的患者和非患者；神经症性抑郁症患者而非内源性抑郁症患者；自杀未遂者，尤其是非严重自杀未遂者；早年经历丧亲或分离的受试者，特别是在随后缺乏良好替代照顾的情况下；根据瑞尔婚姻模式测试，婚姻质量差和丈夫占主导地位的婚姻中的受试者。DY量表与PT量表和D量表直接相关，与Do量表呈负相关。将测试项目分为主要是抑郁性和非抑郁性的项目后发现，大多数（尽管不是全部）显著关联是由于抑郁成分导致的，有人建议应显著减少这种成分。
