Sivik Psychosomaticism test and test of Operational Style. Construct validity: relationship with a Swedish Mood Adjective Check List – MACL
Tatjana Sivik, Natasha Delimar, Rebecca Schoenfeld
The Sivik Psychosomaticism test (SPS) and Test of Operational style (OPER) are reliable and valid instruments for assessing personality characteristics and coping-styles related to the risk for the development of psychosomatic disorders. To further evaluate the construct validity (convergent and divergent), Pearson correlation coefficients between SPS and OPER tests and the Swedish Mood Adjective Checklist (MACL) were calculated. The tests were distributed to 100 patients at a Psychosomatic Clinic and a healthy control.
Significantly negative correlations were found between MACL and SPS scale Emotional Coping Style (all subscales) and SPS total score in both the normal and the patient group as well as several other SPS scales. Positive correlations were found between OPER and MACL variable Extroversion in the patient group.
