Abstract

Samples of verbal behaviour were collected from 32 successful students and 35 hospitalized psychiatric patients in order to assess the applicability of the Gottschalk‐Gleser Content Analysis Scales in Australia. Estimates of interjudge reliability and criterion groups validity resulted in acceptable findings for the Anxiety and Schizophrenic scales, and for the indices of hostility with the exception of Hostility Outward. Discriminant validity of the scales was successfully demonstrated for the student sample only. Comparisons of the data with American norms yielded significantly higher Hostility Inward scores for both Australian samples.
