Abstract

|
In order to identify the need structure of the normal adults and the schizophrenics we have administered EPPS ´to the 215 normals .& the 200 schizophrenics. Based on the intercorrelations among 15 need scores the need factor structures of the two groups was extracted. Factor analysis was used to find the need structures. To compare the differences of the needs between the normal adults and the schizophrenics we have tested the mean differences according to the need factors, and the 15 EPPS needs.
The main findings are as followings:
1. By the factor analysis technique we obtained 5 common factors between two groups. The 5 common factors were named as Nurturance.Affiliation, Order-Deference, Enduring Acceptance, Independant Goal Achievement, & Abasement.
2. The differences of need factors between two groups were found in Enduring Acceptance, Abasement, & Order?Deforence factors, i.e., the schizophrenia group showed negative loadings on. the above three factors.
3. Among the 5 common factors the normal group have showed higher need level in Enduring Acceptance & Abasement factors than the need level of the schizophrenics. But the need level of Nurturance?Affiliation, Independant Goal Achievement, & Order. Deference factors of the schizophrenia group were higher than those of the normal group.
4. Among 15 EPPS needs which were based on the individual´s scores, the schizophrenia group have shown higher need levels in Autonomy, Succorance, Change, & Hetereosexuality needs than the normal group. But Achievement, Order, Abasement, Intraception, Endurance, & Dominance needs of the normal group were higher than those of the schizophrenics.
