NEUROTICISM (CATTELL) AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE PRESENCE OF NEUROTIC SYMPTOMATOLOGY
Abstract:
The Neuroticism Scale Questionnaire and the Symptom-Sign Inventory were investigated by means of multiple regression analysis and principal com- ponent analysis. The results provided evidence for the validity of the dimension which Cattell and Scheier call Neuroticism. In a patient population this dimension was very closely related to the number of neurotic symptoms affirmed by the patient. It is also shown that neurotic disturbance can be divided into two comparitively independent components: (i) symptoms, and (ii) personality. These findings are discussed with regard to their theoretical and practical implications.
