A Statistical Approach to Yatabe-Guilford Personality Inventory and Manifest Anxiety Scale of the Elderly

Abstract

In nursing, if we know an elderly person's mental condition, and that which does not make him/her too tired, this method can be very useful. Using this method we predicted the MAS score from scores of Y-G scales. We obtained the MAS score results by the following formula:
MAS score
≒ 0.31 × Lack of objectivity
+ 0.41 × Inferiority feelings
- 0.15 × Ascendance
+ 0.34 × Y-G Nervousness
+ 0.30 × Y-G Depression
+ 9.54
