The Marke-Nyman Temperament Scale in Depression

MARYSE METCALFE Dip. Psych.1, ANTHONY L. JOHNSON Ph.D.1, and ALEC COPPEN M.D., F.R.C.Psych.1

1 M.R.C. Neuropsychiatry Unit, Greenbank, West Park Hospital, Epsom, Surrey

Distributions of the scores on the three dimensions of personality (Validity, Solidity and Stability) measured by the Marke-Nyman Temperament Scale (MNTS) were obtained from 163 recovered unipolar depressive patients and 208 controls. Validity and Solidity were significantly lower and higher, respectively, in the recovered depressives, suggesting that they were lacking in self-confidence, energy and adaptability. An item analysis of the MNTS, seeking those items which best differentiated controls from recovered depressives confirmed this result.
