Crown-Crisp 实验指数 (CCEI) 旨在衡量神经症症状。趋势是报告其六个单独的量表并忽略总分。我们在对当地社区 208 名 40-49 岁女性和来自精神病医院的 40 名相同年龄范围和性别的患者进行的详细访谈研究中报告了 CCEI 的使用情况。在这项研究中，CCEI 六个量表的分数被证明是高度相关的。提出了将六个量表分数结合起来形成神经症病理学总体分数的案例。该分数根据许多变量进行了验证。研究表明，它与精神病患者的状况、消极的自我评价、当前症状的严重程度、既往精神病发作的证据、既往精神病治疗和儿童时期的精神病症状显着相关。这些验证变量本身是相互关联的，但当前症状的严重程度、自我评价和儿童症状具有显着的独立影响。结论是，CCEI 六个量表的分数可能不如总分重要，总分提供了有用且有效的精神神经病理学测量方法，并且作为社区调查中的筛选工具具有特殊的应用。
The Crown-Crisp Experimental Index (CCEI) was designed as a measure of neurotic symptomatology. The tendency has been to report upon its six separate scales and to ignore the total score. We report on the use of the CCEI in a detailed interview study of 208 40-49-year-old women from a local community and 40 patients of the same age range and sex from a psychiatric hospital. In this study, scores on the six scales of the CCEI were shown to be highly intercorrelated. A case is made for combining the six scale scores to form an overall score of neurotic pathology. This score was validated against a number of variables. It was shown to be significantly related to psychiatric patient status, negative self-evaluation, level of severity of current symptoms, evidence of previous psychiatric episodes, previous psychiatric treatment and psychiatric symptoms in childhood. These validation variables were themselves intercorrelated but severity of current symptoms, self-evaluation and childhood symptoms had significant independent effects. It is concluded that scores on the six scales of the CCEI may be less important than the total score which provides a useful and valid measure of psychoneurotic pathology and has particular application as a screening instrument in community surveys.
