Abstract

Adolescent Multiphasic Personality Inventory profiles of inpatient adolescents were examined to identify differences between suicidal (danger to self, n = 145) and violent (danger to others, n = 36) adolescents. Participants were 181 inpatients (12-17 years old, mean age, 14.7 years) admitted to an adolescent psychiatric unit of a southern California county hospital. Results indicate that the suicide group had significantly higher scores than the violent group on five scales (Hypochondriasis, Psychasthenia, Paranoia, Schizophrenia, and Social Introversion). This scales, singly or in combination, have been found to be indicative of psychotic process. This suggests the presence of psychotic process in suicidal, but not violent, adolescents.

摘要

研究了住院青少年的青少年多相人格问卷档案，以确定有自杀倾向（对自身构成危险，n = 145）和有暴力倾向（对他人构成危险，n = 36）的青少年之间的差异。参与者为181名住院患者（年龄在12至17岁之间，平均年龄14.7岁），他们被收治于南加州一家县医院的青少年精神科病房。结果表明，自杀组在五个量表（疑病症、神经衰弱、偏执狂、精神分裂症和社会内向性）上的得分显著高于暴力组。这些量表单独或综合起来，已被发现可指示精神病性过程。这表明有自杀倾向而非有暴力倾向的青少年存在精神病性过程。
