This study explores clinicians' conceptions of optimal mental health as a function of target age and asks whether contemporary conceptions of optimal mental health differ from Block's (1961) earlier Q-sort model. Ten experienced clinicians from Northwestern University described the personality characteristics of optimally adjusted 25- and 50-year-old targets using the California Q-set. Item scores from these Q-sorts were aggregated to form 25-year-old, 50-year-old, and composite templates of optimal mental health. Using the Spearman-Brown formula, the reliability of the 10-judge composite was .97. The 3 templates were very highly correlated with each other and with Block's original template. Q-sort descriptions of optimal mental health are remarkably stable over 2 generations of clinicians and between young adulthood and mid-life.
本研究探讨了临床医生对作为目标年龄函数的最佳心理健康的概念，并询问当代最佳心理健康概念是否与布洛克（1961年）早期的Q分类模型不同。来自西北大学的十位经验丰富的临床医生使用加利福尼亚Q分类法描述了25岁和50岁最佳适应目标的人格特征。这些Q分类的项目得分被汇总，以形成25岁、50岁和最佳心理健康的综合模板。使用斯皮尔曼-布朗公式，十名评判员综合评分的信度为0.97。这三个模板彼此之间以及与布洛克的原始模板都高度相关。两代临床医生之间以及青年期和中年期之间，对最佳心理健康的Q分类描述非常稳定。
