Scale QQ: Life Threat Reactivity (42 items)


 High scorers who are currently suffering a chronic progressive life

threatening illness--metastatic carcinoma, renal failure, congestive

heart disease--are likely to deteriorate more rapidly than is typical

among patients with a comparable physical illness. Low scorers are

judged as likely to progress through a more benign and favorable course.


Scale RR: Emotional Vulnerability (12 items)


 High scorers facing major surgery or other life-dependent treatment

programs--open heart procedures, hemodialysis, chemotherapy--are

vulnerable to severe disorientation, depressions, or frank psychotic

episodes. Severe reactions of this nature are not probable among low

scorers.
