Data processing and analysis

Depression level (DL) is calculated using the formula:

UD =Epr.+Eobr.,

where Epr. - the sum of crossed out numbers for “direct” statements No. 1,3,4,7,8,9,10,13,15,19;

EUR. - the sum of the numbers “reverse” to the crossed out statements No. 2,5,6,11,12,14,16, 17, 18,-20.

For example: statement No. 2 has the number 1 crossed out, we give the total 4 points; For statement No. 5, answer 2 is crossed out, we put 3 points in the total; For statement No. 6, answer 3 is crossed out, we put 2 points in the total, etc.

As a result, we get a UD that ranges from 20 to 80 points. If the LOD is no more than 50 points, then a state without depression is diagnosed. If the UD is more than 50 points, but less than 59, then a conclusion is made about mild depression of situational or neurotic origin. If the UD is from 60 to 69 points, a subdepressive state or masked depression is diagnosed. A true depressive state is diagnosed when the UD is greater than 70 points.

2) the nature of the incentives:

positive have positive personal meaning or social significance(good weather, joy in the soul, compliment from others, joke);

ambivalent(or neutral) - they are dual in nature, you can find either a positive or negative meaning in them - it all depends on

Application 605

attitudes of the individual himself, from his tendencies to attribute good or bad qualities to things, phenomena, people (the new business partner in general is ambivalent as incentives, television broadcast, dubious ideas, people around, life in general, the usual work environment);

negative have a negative meaning and significance (feeling tired, having to pass an intellectual test, a difficult circumstance in life).

A table allows you to summarize the results; you need to transfer the data of your answers into it - put ones in the required column. Count it up total quantity answers “a”, “b”, “c” - according to the columns of the table.

Interpretation of results

Largest quantity answers like “a” indicate that your emotional perception system is giving in to different influences: positive, negative and ambivalent. In the surrounding reality, she chooses predominantly ambivalent stimuli. At the same time, they “get stuck” in the personality, remaining in the form of experiences of an unpleasant aftertaste, thoughts, hidden sadness, and anger.

When the dysphoric formula dominates (most answers are “c”), positive and negative stimuli are reduced to negative experiences, and your emotional system as a whole is tuned to negative stimuli.

Additionally, it can be noted which specific stimuli - negative, ambivalent or positive - more often cause a specific type of energy transformation - “a”, “b” or “c”.

The data show that “pure” formulas for transforming the energy of influences are rare and are usually demonstrated by individuals with accentuations in character, with signs of neuroticism. More often, “mixed” types of reactions to external and internal influences, as the following table shows. (% of the number of respondents).
