SCL-90 is a commonly used mental health assessment tool, which is used to assess individual mental health and psychological problems. It contains 90 items, covering all kinds of psychological symptoms and troubles that individuals may have. The setting of the scoring standard is to compare the scores of individuals with those of the general population to determine whether there are mental health problems.
Scoring standard usually includes total score and standard score of each dimension. The total score reflects the overall mental health level of an individual, with a high score indicating psychological problems and a low score indicating a high level of mental health. The standard score of each dimension reflects the individual's performance on different psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression and hostility.
The setting of grading standards is based on a large number of surveys and statistical data. Through the measurement and comparison of a large number of samples, the mental health status corresponding to different scoring ranges is determined. The setting of the standard score makes the evaluation results objective and comparable, which can help clinicians and psychological professionals better understand individual psychological problems and provide guidance for treatment and intervention.
Setting background of SCL90 scoring standard:
SCL-90 scoring standard refers to a set of scoring standards formulated when using Symptom Checklist (SCL) for psychological evaluation and research. The background of this scoring standard can be traced back to the United States in the early 1970s, when researchers in the field of mental health began to apply the Symptom Checklist (SCL) to psychological evaluation and research.
This self-reporting method can help researchers to understand the subjective feelings and inner experiences of individuals, so as to better understand and diagnose psychological problems and diseases. However, in the application process, each symptom needs to be quantitatively evaluated and analyzed. In order to achieve this goal, researchers need to use a standardized scoring system to ensure the reliability and accuracy of test results.
After years of practice and research, researchers have formulated the SCL-90 scoring standard on the basis of a large number of clinical data and statistical analysis. The main feature of the standard is the time-sharing scoring method, which divides the symptoms into five grades according to the severity and records them at different time points to evaluate the individual's symptom changes and disease progress.
