Abstract

|
In order to identify the need structure of the normal female and the female schizophrenic we have administered EPPS to 273 normal females and 113 female schizophrenics. Based on the intercorrelations among 15 need scores the need factor structures of the two groups were extracted. Factor analysis was used to find the need structures. To compare the differences of the needs between the normal females and the female schitophrenics 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 4 factors from the normal females and 5 factors from the female schizoprenics. It was found that there were 4 common factors between two group: named as Order -Endurance, NurturanceAffiliation, Independant Goal Achievement, Enduring Acceptance.
2. The differences of need factors between two groups were found in Order-Fndurance and NurturanceAffiliation, i.e., the female schizophrenic group have shown negative loadings on the above two factors.
3. Among the EPPS needs which based on the individuals´s scores, the normal females have shown higher need levels in intraception, dominance, abasement, change, and endurance needs than the female schizophrenics. But Deference, autonomy, succorance needs. of, the schizophrenic group were higher than those of the normal group.
