[Gottschalk-Gleser method: verbal content analysis to measure aggressive and anxious affects].

In this article the Gottschalk-Gleser-Method, a content analysis of speech, developed in the United States, is presented for German conditions. The theoretical assumptions, on which the method is based, are entered, the three hostility-scales and the anxiety-scale in the German translation and also the technique how to use th scales are described. For demonstration there are given two scored samples. Besides it is pointed out by testing the interraterreliability between Gottschalk and two German raters, that the method is adaptable to the German language. It could also be shown, that values of American normal population are similar to the values of a German normal population.
