Evidence Of Typological Mood States From Change-Score (Dr)-Factoring Of The Clinical Analysis Questionnaire, Gregory J. Boyle
Evidence Of Typological Mood States From Change-Score (Dr)-Factoring Of The Clinical Analysis Questionnaire, Gregory J. Boyle
Gregory J. Boyle
A series of studies has attempted to elucidate higher-order mood-state dimensions through factor analyses of a number of multidimensional self-report instruments. Results suggest at least five higher-order mood states (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Arousal-Fatigue, Hostility, Depression). However, the question of possible mood states in the psychopathological domain remains unresolved. The present study investigates this issue through second- and third-order dR-analyses of the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ). Results indicate further abnormal typological mood-state factors in addition to those previously delineated within the (normal) mood-state sphere.
