Correlates of the Psychotic Reaction Profile in an outpatient psychiatric sample.

Examined the correlates of the Psychotic Reaction Profile with a number of other psychological measures. Ratings on the Profile were obtained on 73 male psychiatric patients participating in a day treatment program in an outpatient clinic. Additional measures were obtained for this population on the WAIS, Holtzman Inkblot Test, Stroop Color-Word Test, and the Vineland Social Maturity scale. Findings indicate that Ss who rated high on thinking disorganization evidenced intellectual deficits, perceptual impairment, and a lower level of maturity. Ss who rated high on paranoid belligerence showed less perceptual distractability and evidenced a higher level of social maturity. The 2 scales also differed with respect to the criterion of discharge disposition. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
