Philip TrappUniversity of ArkansasThis paper is the result of a short and super-ficialexcursion into the field of attitude measure-ment. Ever sinoe the writer began teaching coursesin abnormal psychology, he has been interested inthe general effectiveness of such courses for thepromotion o f mental health. One important facetof this question is the role that abnormal psy-chology might play in correcting faulty attitudestoward mental illness. When Woodward(l) publisheda mental health questionnaire developed by the Ro-per Agency in their study on mental health atti-tudes in Louisville, the writer saw a convenienttool for exploring this phase of the problem. How-ever, since there has been no published data on thediscriminative velue of the Roper questionnaire ona college population, it seemed best to begin cau-tiously and refrain from any sort of an elaborateexperimental design. Thus, the initial step wasessentially a pilot study to investigate a poten-tial lead and pave the way fora more rigorous an-alysis of the problem. The findings presented here,then, should be considered solely as sugge stive andnot definitive.SUBJECTSThe subjects for this pilot study were 53 upper-division oollege students, both men and women, en-rolled in a class of abnormal psychology at theUniversity of Arkansas. This course, which hadgeneral psychology a s its only prerequisite, wasstrictly service-oriented; that is, primarily de-signed for non-majors in psychology. The composi-tion of the class was a fairly good cross-sectionof upper-classmen on the campus.PROCEDUREAt the beginning of the course, the Roper ques-30Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, Vol. 10 [1957], Art. 8Published by Arkansas Academy of Science, 1957¦31*ATTITUDE CHANGES TOWARD MENTAL HEALTHtionnaire was presented to the subjects in a singlegroup session. The entire questionnaire consistedof 9 questions and is reproduced in the appendix.At the end of the course, the questionnaire wa spresented again to the subjects in a single groupsession. Approximately HO minutes was needed tofillout the questionnaire on each presentation.RESULTSA crude sooring scheme was devised for evalu-ating the questionnaires. The correct response toeach question was worth four points; all other re-sponses were scored 0, The correct or preferableresponse for each question was determined by unan-imous agreement among three judges, selected fromthe staff of the Psychology Department at the Uni-versity of Arkansas • In Question 9> since the sub-ject was asked to make four choices, eaoh correctchoice was assigned a scoring value of 1.Not all of the questions on the test were tab-ulated in the results. The judges felt that Ques-tion lwas primarilyan information question, whichreflected more of the student's knowledge of thecourse than his attitudes. Questions 3» 7» ai*<* 8were eliminated because of some disagreement amongthe judges in evaluating them. It became apparentthat the same response to these items oould veryreadily refleot wide diversity of attitudes- somepositive in oharacter and others negative. Hence,the questions that were ultimately used in the testwere Questions 2, 4, 5» 6, and 9» The Correct re-sponses for eaoh of these questions were as follows:Question 2 - HospitalQuestion 4 - Choice "e"Question 5 - Choice ne"Question O - Choice "b"Question 9 - Choices "b," "d," "f," n g,M"i," wm."The maximum total score was 20. This score wouldbe interpreted to mean that the student's responsesreflected the best possible attitude toward mentalhealth.

One suoh treatment involved dividing thescores on the group's first performance into twocategories representing good and poor performance.With l6 total points as a cutting score, it wasfound that 16 of the 53 subjects scored l6 or higherand the remaining 3/ scored less than l6 totalpoints. The mean score of the poor group was 9 •73on the first performance; on the second performance,their mean score jumped to 14.14. This very dra-matic shift was significant at well beyond the 1per cent level of confidence.An examination of individual records showed that32 of the subjects in the poor group received higherscores on their second performance, three subjectsretained their same score, and two subjects ob-tained lower scores.The findings in this preliminary report weremost encouraging in suggesting the part that acourse in abnormal psychology might play in themodification of attitudes toward mental health.Many factors were not controlled, so the resultscannot be unequivocally interpreted, but the ori-ginal purpose was achieved in providing evidencefor a promising lead to a more fruitful study.32Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science, Vol. 10 [1957], Art. 8Published by Arkansas Academy of Science, 1957TABLE IPERFORMANCE SCORES OF SUBJECTSON MENTAL HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRESub- Test Scores Sub- Test Scores Sub- Test Scoresjects First Second jects First Second jects First Second1 10 10 19 14 19 37 11 122 11 11 20 5 11 38 16 193 15 15 21 12 20 39 20 204 8 16 22 11 12 40 20 185 14 15 23 10 15 41 20 166 4 19 24 11 14 42 20 167 10 l6 25 7 14 43 20 l68 12 l6 26 15 19 44 l6 l69 14 20 27 6 9 45 18 1810 14 18 28 3 7 46 16 l611 11 14 29 7 14 47 l6 2012 8 12 30 13 20 48 l6 1913 6 10 31 10 15 49 16 2014 5 19 32 11 14 50 l6 1215 14 19 33 7 1° 51 19 1616 14 20 34 8 14 52 18 1517 7 12 35 7 3 53 18 1018 5 10 3o 10 9Mean 12.17 14.91S.
