We examined the construct validity of Potential for Hostility (PH) for healthy undergraduate males and females. In Study 1, 45 males and 76 females were rated for PH. Subjects then completed the Cook Medley Hostility Scale (Ho) and a trait negative affectivity (NA) scale. For males, PH correlated with Cynicism, a subscale of the Ho, but was unrelated to NA. However, for females, PH was unrelated to self-reported hostility and minimally related to NA. In Study 2, 52 males and 91 females again were rated for PH in addition to state NA; subjects also provided self-reported state NA and PH measures. For males, convergence was found between observed and self-reported PH scores, but no such relation was found for females; only self-reported and observed state NA predicted females' PH rating. Thus, the Structured Interview method of hostility assessment may not be measuring the same hostility construct in females as it is in males.
我们研究了健康的本科男性和女性的敌意倾向（PH）的结构效度。在研究1中，对45名男性和76名女性进行了PH评分。然后，受试者完成了库克-梅德利敌意量表（Ho）和一个特质消极情感（NA）量表。对于男性，PH与Ho量表的一个子量表——愤世嫉俗相关，但与NA无关。然而，对于女性，PH与自我报告的敌意无关，与NA的相关性也很小。在研究2中，除了状态NA外，再次对52名男性和91名女性进行了PH评分；受试者还提供了自我报告的状态NA和PH测量值。对于男性，观察到的和自我报告的PH分数之间存在趋同，但在女性中未发现这种关系；只有自我报告的和观察到的状态NA能够预测女性的PH评分。因此，敌意评估的结构化访谈方法在女性中测量的敌意结构可能与在男性中测量的不同。
