The authors tested hypotheses about a psychoanalytic model of a developmental continuum of object relations (from need-gratifying to mutual) by distinguishing persons that Goldberg (1972) classified as normal, sociopathic, and psychotic according to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). A Thematic Apperception Test rating scale, Capacity for Emotional Investment (CEI), developed by Westen, Lohr, Silk, and Kerber (1989) was employed for this purpose. Results strongly support the hypotheses and lend support for convergent and discriminant validity of the CEI dimension.
作者通过区分根据明尼苏达多相人格量表（MMPI）被戈德堡（1972年）归类为正常、反社会和精神病态的人，对关于客体关系发展连续体（从需求满足到相互关系）的精神分析模型的假设进行了检验。为此，采用了由韦斯顿、洛尔、西尔克和克伯（1989年）编制的主题统觉测验评分量表——情感投入能力（CEI）。结果有力地支持了这些假设，并为CEI维度的聚合效度和区分效度提供了支持。
