Abstract
The authors studied Psychoticism, using SCL-90, in the subjects of 3,893 male college students and 1,976 female college students of Yeung Nam University, collecting data during the periods from October to November, 1984. The results could be summarized as follows: 1. There was significant difference in the mean averages of total psychoticism scores between male and female students; male students scored $6.81{\pm}5.13$ female students scored $8.14{\pm}5.05$. 2. Eighty eight male students (2.4%) showed seriously high psychoticism scores of 20 or higher, while 63 female students (3.2%) showed the same scores. 3. In a comparison between male students in different school grades, freshmen showed the highest level of psychoticism scores, and as the grades of students became higher, the levels of psychoticism scores were lower. 4. Among the psychosocial factors, there were strong tendencies toward higher psychoticism scores in the students who were dissatisfied with their college, and hsd pessimistic views of self image in the past, present or future, in both groups. 5. The male students whose educational fees were paid by their parents, and whose spending money per month was under 10,000won, showed higher level of psychoticism scores. 6. The female students whose maturation locations were city, who were dissatisfied with their departments, who resided in dormitory of other residencies, and whose educational fees were paid by their brothers or sisters, showed higher level of psychoticism scores. 7. The items relating to 5(Feeling lonely with people) 9 (Never feeling close to another) 10 (Idea something with mind) in psychoticism and the item of depressed affect in SDS were significantly correlated over 0.40 of correlation coefficient.
영남대학교에 재학중인 5,869명 (남대생 3,893명, 여대생 1,976명)을 대상으로 정신증 척도를 사용하여 평가한 결론은 다음과 같다. 정신증 척도의 총점은 남대생 $6.81{\pm}5.13$, 여대생 $8.14{\pm}5.05$으로 여대생이 유의하게 높은 성적을 보였다 (P<0.001). 정신증척도의 항목별 성적은 운항 (6) 성문제(sexual problemes)를 제외하고 모두가 여대생에서 유의하게 높은 성적을 보였다. 정신증척도의 성적분포는 20점 이상의 고득점자가 남대생 88명 (2.4%), 여대생 63명 (3.2%)으로 여대생에서 다소 높은 성적을 보였다. 정신증적 경향과 관련된 사회정신의학적 요인들중 남녀 대학생에서 공통적으로 유의하게 높은 성적을 보인 것은 소속대학 및 현 소속학과 선택에서 불만인 경우 (P<0.001) 그리고 자기 자신의 과거, 현재 및 미래에 대한 비관인 경우 (P<0.001) 등에서 유의하였다. 남대생 단독으로 유의하게 높은 성적을 보인 것은 저학년인 경우 (P<0.001)와 월 잡비별 성적중 일만원 이하일 경우 (P<0.05)였다. 여대생 단독으로 유의하게 높은 성적을 보인 것은 성장지가 중소도시의 경우 (P<0.05)였다. 상관계수 (r=0.40 이상)인 문항들은 정신증적 척도 문항인 (9) 소외감 (r=0.46), (10) 정서불균형 (r=0.43), (5) 고독감 (r=0.40) 등과 우울척도 문항인 (1) 우울감과 사이에 각각 상관이 있었다.
