| Abstract: | 127 psychiatric in-patients completed the CPI Socialization scale. Their responses were analyzed by principal components analysis and three sub-scales were constructed. The sample was classified by cluster analysis and three types were identified and compared. There were normal and low socialization clusters, and a third cluster which differed from the latter by having a higher score on a scale which we called Problem Behaviour (PB). This scale seems likely to provoke social desirability responses. Associations were found between our types and clinical diagnosis. In particular, it was observed that women with personality disorders of the type described in DSM-111 as ‘dramatic, emotional and erratic’ were found with increased frequency in the low socialization cluster. It is suggested that such patients give naive answers to the PB scale items. Investigators using the Socialization scale to identify subjects for research should consider the possibility of heterogeneity among low scorers. |
