Psychometric Properties of the Observer Alexithymia Scale in a Clinical Sample
摘要:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Observer Alexithymia Scale (OAS; Haviland, Warren, & Riggs, 2000) in a clinical setting Clinical and counseling psychologists used the OAS to rate outpatients (n = 192) with various Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) diagnoses. Reliability and validity data are similar to the initial nonclinical data (n = 819): OAS scores are reliable (coefficient alpha = .90), and the five-factor structure-Distant, Uninsightful, Somatizing, Humorless, and Ri.-id-was confirmed. Moreover, the OAS does a relatively good job of differentiating clinical from nonclinical cases. The OAS is psychometrically sound, and it appears to be a useful tool for collecting and evaluating observer data on the clinically relevant, everyday expressions of alexithymia.
phosphine and phosphite ligands I–IV were synthesised, characterised and applied as catalysts in the partial hydrogenation of substituted arenes. In the case of disubstituted arenes, selectivities for the corresponding cyclohexene derivatives of up to 39% were achieved at ca. 40% conversion. The effect of parameters such as temperature and pressure was also examined. In the hydrogenation of styrene, very
