Abstract

The purpose of the present research was to make a criteria to classify maladjusted behavior and to make a scale which is proper in discriminating maiadjusted behavior. For this purpose, researcher tried to make the group psychological test which can be used under the present situation of colleges. In this research, obtained the following results. 1. This test consists of 7 scales such as psychosis scales for male and female, neurosis scales for male and females, personality disorder scale, faking bad (malingering) scale, and faking good scale. 2. Psychosis scale for male has 28 items. when we classify the person who obtained above 8 points in this scale into psychosis group, the 69.5% of psychosis group can be discriminated, but the 2.9% of normal persons may be classified into psychosis group. 3. And same way, we classify the person who obtained a certain points in other scale into a certain abnormal group or normal group. Scales and discriminating points were revealed as follows. scale Number of items Point of discrimination Pescentage of sorting Percentage of misjudgement Psychosis male 28 8 69.5 2.9 female 30 11 67.8 3.7 Neurosis male 31 14 96.2 2.9 female 29 16 67.3 2.2 Personality disorder 30 15 75.9 4.4 Faking bad (malingering； 26 9 69.7 2.9 Faking good 22 15 65.3 1.5 4. The test-retest correlation of each scale were .75~.89 respectively, making the high reliability and the correlation between scales were low. But this test has the following limitation ① The predictive validity of this test is insufficient. ② Faking bad group and faking good group were normal boy students with the exception of girl students and operated by examiner with the instruction. ③ Used the juvenile delinquent boys in the reformatory as personality disorder group, they were in the service again and not able to include female group. The above problems should be examined in the further research and follow up research using the other students and maiadjusted groups inorder to elevate the validity this test.
