Studies on Maladjustment by Mean of Personality Test

本学の新入生は不適応学生の早期発見の為に,2種の性格検査を受けるよう求められている。本研究では,2種の性格検査が不適応学生の予知に有効となる為の手続きを検討した。性格検査結果によって,不適応群,特定項目群,適応群の3群が抽出され,その特性を比較したところ,3群の特徴が明らかとなった。入学後の追跡調査では,不適応群の約半数が適応へと変化した。The newlly enrolled students of our university were requested to answer to Yatabe-Gilford test (YG) and University Personality Inventory (UPI). From the answers, the students could be divided into three groups: i.e., maladjust, adjust and specific item group, respectively. The last one was such students who responded positively to 4 special items among UPI, and they could be. considered to show preliminarily some sign for mental disease and/or neurosis. Each group showed different characteristics. Out of 964 new freshmen, the maladjust students were 74, and special item ones were 82. Personal interview was given to these students at the time of a half year later after their entrance. However about a half of the students who were grouped as maladjust students or specific item became to show considerable change towards the similar characteristics as "adjust" students
