The purposes of the study were (1) to dichotomize each of the personal illness classes into those expected and those not expected to retain a relatively high degree of anxiety-depression; (2) to seek confirmation of this division by means of the combined DSSI sets of Anxiety and Depression; (3) to examine their respective scores on the Personality Deviance Scales; and (4) to examine the relationship between Anxiety-Depression and intropunitiveness. It was found that within each of the four classes the predicted 'affective' group scored significantly higher on DSSI Anxiety-Depression than did the 'non-affective' group. On intropunitiveness, the 'affective' group scored significantly higher within three classes and almost so in the forth. Although anxiety-depression and intropunitiveness both discriminate between the 'affective' and 'non-affective' groups their conceptual distinction is empirically based.
（1）将每种个人疾病类别分为预期会保持较高程度焦虑抑郁的类别和预期不会保持较高程度焦虑抑郁的类别；（2）通过焦虑和抑郁的综合DSSI数据集来寻求对这种划分的确认；（3）检查他们在人格偏差量表上的各自得分；（4）检查焦虑抑郁与内罚性之间的关系。研究发现，在四个类别中的每一个类别中，预测的“情感”组在DSSI焦虑抑郁量表上的得分显著高于“非情感”组。在内罚性方面，“情感”组在三个类别中得分显著更高，在第四个类别中几乎也是如此。尽管焦虑抑郁和内罚性都能区分“情感”组和“非情感”组，但它们的概念区分是基于实证的。
