Repression-sensitization and self-other discrimination in psychiatric patients.

Summary On the basis of previous research on the Repression-Sensitization Scale, it was hypothesized that sensitizers possess a conceptual process characterized by excessively negative self-other discrimination. One implication of this hypothesis for a patient population is an excessive tendency toward symptom endorsement which could lead to errors of diagnosis and case management. Sensitizing patients endorsed significantly more pathological symptoms (but not general traits) and discriminated themselves from others to a significantly greater degree on negative than positive dimensions, whereas repressers did not. Results were interpreted as providing support for a reconceptualization of the repression-sensitization dimension as a conceptual process rather than a defense mechanism.
