Development of a "Type C" inventory: cross-cultural applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors are preparing for cross-cultural studies of immunosuppressive behaviors and emotions, commonly called "Type C," in both healthy persons and in patients with cancer. To this end, validity and reliability of a Type C Personality Inventory were assessed in a sample of 128 healthy volunteers. Reliability of the instrument was supported by moderate to high Cronbach alpha coefficients. Acceptable validity was evident by relatively high correlations of the instrument's subscales with other, standardized, psychological tests.
