    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Medical Sociology

    Background:

    • The Middlesex Hospital Questionnaires were administered to 170 new adult outpatients across three hospitals.
    • Examiners provided personality assessments and tentative clinical diagnoses for each patient.
    • The study aimed to explore the relationship between patient demographics, clinical presentation, and psychological scores.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the psychological profiles of new adult outpatients.
    • To examine correlations between patient age, specific clinical conditions (like rhinitis), and scores on hysteria and phobic anxiety scales.
    • To assess the consistency between clinical impressions and objective personality assessments.

    Main Methods:

    • Administration of Middlesex Hospital Questionnaires to 170 new adult outpatients.
    • Data collection included patient demographics, clinical diagnoses, and examiner's personality comments.
    • Statistical analysis to compare personality scores across different patient groups and correlate with clinical impressions.

    Main Results:

    • A significantly older patient population at Lymington Hospital exhibited lower hysteria and phobic anxiety scores.
    • Patients diagnosed with rhinitis presented with higher hysteria and anxiety scores.
    • Overall, a weak association was observed between the examiner's clinical impression of a patient and their measured personality scores.

    Conclusions:

    • Age appears to be a factor influencing hysteria and anxiety scores in outpatient populations.
    • Rhinitis may be associated with elevated psychological distress, specifically hysteria and anxiety.
    • Clinical judgment of patient personality may not strongly align with standardized psychometric assessments.
