Further Revision and Verification of the Ko\'s Mental Health Formula: Its Application to Schizoid and Antisocial Personality

Senior high school and senior high vocational school students, including males (N=298) and females (N=315) , were asked to answer eight scales , including three kinds of thinking habit scales such as antisocial, schizophrenic and normal thinking habits.

The stepwise multiple correlation analyses were conducted to fin which set of independent variables is most able to account for the variance of the two dependent variables respectively. The results revealed that: when analyses are conducted with raw scores , (1) four independent variables, including the experience of suffering from antisocial personality disorder in the past , antisocial thinking habits , life pressure , and schizophrenic thinking disorder, are found to form a set , which is able to account for about 65.7% (R=.84) of the total variance of the antisocial personality disorder score , and (2) three independent variables , including the experience of suffering from schizophrenic disorder in the past , schizophrenic thinking habits and normal thinking habits, are found to form a set, which is able to account for about 57.4%( R=.76) of the total variance of the schizophrenic disorder score.
