Abstract:
This research studied individual differences among psychiatric patients in the extent to which clinical workers agree about the likelihood that the patients will act violently. Predictions of imminent violence proneness for 40 male inpatients made by 35 experienced clinical practitioners were analyzed. As hypothesized, subgroups of patients who elicited high interjudge agreement were found, and admission profiles of these patients were presented. Clinical workers' predictive accuracy was found to be greater when they rated patients who elicited high consensus than for unselected patients or for those who elicited low consensus.
