Two versions of the grid test of thought disorder were derived which used similar elements, and were of equal difficulty, but one of which employed psychological, and the other non-psychological, constructs. They were administered to thought-disordered schizophrenic patients and to psychiatric and normal controls. On one measure (consistency), although not on the other (intensity), the results strongly supported the hypothesis that thought-disordered patients are maximally disordered in the area of psychological construing. The results support those of an earlier study (McPherson et al. 1975) and are compatible with those theories which postulate a role for social factors in the aetiology of thought disorder.
思维紊乱网格测试的两个版本由此而来，它们使用了相似的元素，难度相当，但其中一个采用心理学构建，另一个采用非心理学构建。这两个版本的测试被施用于思维紊乱的精神分裂症患者以及精神科对照患者和正常对照者。在一项指标（一致性）上，而非另一项指标（强度）上，结果有力地支持了这样的假设，即思维紊乱的患者在心理学阐释领域的紊乱程度最大。这些结果支持了早期一项研究（麦克弗森等人，1975年）的结果，并且与那些假定社会因素在思维紊乱病因学中起作用的理论相符。
