本研究的目的是发展和验证一个自我评定量表的心理化的差异化评估。一个40个项目的游泳池，并在三个时间点对n = 434例精神障碍住院患者进行评估。同时评估症状严重程度、自伤行为、自杀倾向和依恋方式。方差最大旋转因子分析支持四个因素的提取。验证性因素分析检验模型拟合。心理化问卷（MZQ）的内部一致性为0.81。症状严重程度和MZQ评分之间的关系被认为是显着的，和显着的组间差异被发现显示自伤行为的患者和那些谁没有以及患者之间有和没有自杀企图。MZQ可以被认为是一个可行的自评工具，具有可接受的信度和足够的效度，至少可以评估精神障碍患者的心理化。
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a self-rating scale for a differentiated assessment of mentalization. A pool of 40 items was developed and evaluated on n = 434 inpatients with mental disorders at three time points. Symptom severity, self-injuring behavior, suicidal tendency and attachment style were also assessed. A varimax-rotated factor analysis supported the extraction of four factors. The model fit was checked by confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency of the Mentalization Questionnaire (MZQ) was .81. The relation between symptom severity and MZQ scores was found to be significant, and significant group differences were found between patients displaying self-injuring behavior and those who did not as well as between patients with and without suicide attempts. The MZQ can be considered as a practicable self-rated instrument with acceptable reliability and sufficient validity to assess at least aspects of mentalization in patients with mental disorders.
