Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine the clinical validity of the A, B, and D scales of the Health, Personality, and Habit Test (HPH). Methods: A total of 94 patients with schizophrenia, 60 patients with bipolar I disorder, 154 patients with depressive disorder (including major depression or dysthymia), 84 patients with anxiety disorder, and 207 normal control adults completed the A, B, and D scales of the HPH from 2008/9/30 to 2009/8/31. Results: Exploratory factor analysis of the 392 valid responses obtained from the patient sample indicated that the A, B, and D scales were mostly consistent with the original scale concepts. Findings from the ANOVA and logistic regression analysis indicated good validity for the A, B and D scales in that they could distinguish between individuals with psychopathology and the normal controls. The schizophrenic subscale discriminated schizophrenia from the other 3 types of mental disorders. The manic subscale differentiated bipolar I disorder and depressive disorder. The depressive subscale distinguished between depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. Conclusions: In general, the results of the current study supported the clinical validity of the HPH. |
