Community mental health ideology and personality preferences of social work students. 1976

N E Penn, and F Baker

105 women social work graduate students completed the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) and the Community Mental Health Ideology (CMHI) Scale. Scores on each of the 16 EPPS variables were divided into deciles and into quartiles for comparisons with extreme scores on the CMHI Scale. Results revealed that high CMHI scorers showed significantly lower needs for deference and order personality variables, and indicated that the degree of commitment to community mental health ideology is significantly related to personality preferences.
