β¦ Synopsis
The paper presents evidence concerning the stability and sensitivity of three classes of behavioral measures: a) word association quality, b) perceptual coping style, and c) skin resistance level and reactivity across a 21-day interval. Acute schizophrenic males were administered these measures 7 and 28 days following admission to a State hospital. Half of the patients were assigned to active phenothiazine medication at 7 days and half continued on placebo.
Comparison of correlations between 7-and 28-day data for drug and placebo groups revealed different patterns of stability across time and sensitivity to drug ingestion for each of these three classes of measures.
