先前的研究已经确定了基于mmpi的Cook and Medley敌意量表（Ho）作为健康结果的预测因子。为了更好地理解这个量表所测量的结构，Ho项在先验的基础上被分类。六个子集被确定为：玩世不恭、敌意归因、敌意影响、攻击性反应、社会回避和其他。研究1在两个大学生样本中检验了这些子集与NEO人格量表的相关性。结果表明，社会回避类和其他类具有较好的收敛效度和判别效度，但有证据表明，社会回避类和其他类的项目反映的不是敌意的构式。研究2检验了Ho量表和项目子集对118名在1956年和1957年完成MMPI的律师1985年生存率的预测能力。与之前的研究一样，得分高的人生存率较低。2 = 6.37, p = 0.012)。与以往的研究不同，Ho评分与生存率之间的关系是线性的。犬儒主义、敌意情感和攻击性反应与生存相关，而其他子集与生存无关。三个预测子集的和，带有。chi。2 / 9.45 （p = 0.002）是比完整的Ho量表更好的预测指标，这表明有可能改进该量表，并实现对那些有害健康的敌意方面的更有效的衡量。
Previous studies have identified the MMPI-based Cook and Medley hostility scale (Ho) as a predictor of health outcomes. To achieve a better understanding of the construct measured by this scale, Ho items were classified on an a priori basis. Six subsets were identified: Cynicism, Hostile Attributions, Hostile Affect, Aggressive responding, Social Avoidance, and Other. Study 1 examined the correlations of the these subsets with scales of the NEO Personality Inventory in two samples of undergraduates. Good convergent and discriminant validity were demonstrated, but there was some evidence that items in the Social Avoidance and Other categories reflect constructs other than hostility. Study 2 examined the ability of the Ho scale and the item subsets to predict the 1985 survival of 118 lawyers who had completed the MMPI in 1956 and 1957. As in previous studies, those with high scores had poorer survival (.chi.2 = 6.37, p = 0.012). Unlike previous studies, the relation between Ho scores and survival was linear. Cynicism, Hostile Affect, and Aggressive Responding subsets were related to survival, whereas the other subsets were not. The sum of the three predictive subsets, with a .chi.2 of 9.45 (p = 0.002), was a better predictor than the full Ho scale, suggesting that it may be possible to refine the scale and achieve an even more effective measure of those aspects of hostility that are deleterious to health.
