Investigated the relationship between the Depression and Psychoticism Wiggins content scales of the MMPI and length of hospitalization on a psychiatric unit. Ss were 45 (23 males, 22 females) inpatients who were referred for psychological evaluation. The best single predictor of length of hospitalization was the Depression scale (p less than .001). The Psychoticism scale did not predict length of stay when used independently or in conjunction with the Depression scale. The content of an individual's self-description appears to be useful clinical information; future research was recommended.
研究了明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）的抑郁量表和精神质量表得分与精神科病房住院时长之间的关系。研究对象为45名（23名男性，22名女性）因心理评估而转诊的住院患者。住院时长的最佳单一预测指标是抑郁量表（p < .001）。精神质量表单独使用或与抑郁量表联合使用时，均无法预测住院时长。个体自我描述的内容似乎是有用的临床信息；建议开展进一步研究。
