 SCALE OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS
SCL – 90

DESCRIPCION

The SCL-90 is a self-administered scale primarily aimed at

determine the symptomatic behavior of psychiatric outpatients.

The immediate precursor of the SCL was the scale called "HSCL" (Hopkins
Symptom Check List), which consisted of 58 items, which were representative of the
symptoms commonly observed among outpatient psychiatric patients.
These items covered five dimensions: Hypochondria, Obsessiveness, Compulsiveness,
Sensibilidad Interpersonal, Ansiedad y Depresión.

The origins of this last scale date back to the year 1954 when Parloff, Kelman and
Frank develops the so-called 'Discomfort Scale', which in turn arises from the union of 12
items taken from a scale made by Leir in 1952 and some constitutive symptoms
from the Cornell medical index.

The SCL - 90 includes 90 items that reflect the 9 first-order dimensions that
it is believed to cover the majority of the symptoms that these types may present
patients. Few questions escape from this wide base. To inquire about aspects
related to sleep and appetite.

The dimensions characterized by the authors of the SCL - 90 are as follows:

DIMENSION I : (HIPOCONDRÍA)

Ítems : 1, 4, 12, 27, 40, 42, 48, 49, 52, 53, 56, 58

The items included in this dimension explore discomfort in the area of the
perceptions of bodily dysfunction. Other equivalents are also included.
somatic anxiety.

Number of Items = 12 x 4 pt. = 48 Item rating: From 0 to 4

Maximum score = 48 equivalent to 100% (12 x 4)

Two Ways: a) General Form = 12 items

b) Forma Abreviada = 12 items
DIMENSION II: OBSESSIVENESS – COMPULSIVENESS

Ítems : 3, 9, 10, 28, 38, 45, 46, 55, 65, 84, 86

They reflect behaviors that are closely identified with the clinical syndrome of
same name. The focus of this dimension is fixed on thoughts, impulses and
actions experienced as irresistible and permanent that are not desired.

Number of Items a) General Form = 44 is equivalent to 100% (11 x 4)

b) Abbreviated Score = 40 equivalent to 100% (10 x 4)

DIMENSION III: ASSERTIVENESS AND SHYNESS

Ítems : 6, 21, 34, 36, 37, 41, 61, 69, 73, 88

It mainly focuses on feelings of inadequate interaction and inferiority.

particularly in comparison with the other members of society.

N° de ítems = 10

Maximum score = 40 is equivalent to 100% (10 x 4)

The abbreviated form is not included. It has been eliminated.

DIMENSION IV: DEPRESSION

Ítems: 5, 14, 15, 19, 20, 22, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32, 54, 59, 71, 79, 87, 89

It reflects a wide range of symptoms associated with the clinical depressive syndrome. They are
represented by symptoms related to mood, as well as lack of interest and
energy loss - vital. Includes some responses about suicidal ideas.

No. of items a) General Form = 17

b) Forma Abreviada = 16

Two Ways a) Maximum Score = 68 equivalent to 100% (17 x 4)

b) Abbreviated Score = 64 is equivalent to 100% (16 x 4)

DIMENSION V: ANXIETY

Ítems : 2, 17, 23, 33, 39, 44, 57, 60, 64, 66, 72, 78, 80

This dimension has symptoms and behaviors usually associated with highs.
manifestations of anxiety, includes general indicators such as nervousness,
restlessness and tension, as well as somatic signs, for example: tremors. Also,
They present in this dimension, items related to feelings and actions.
Number of items for both Forms a) General : 13
b) Abbreviated : 13

Two ways a) Maximum Score = 52 equivalent to 100% (13 x 4)

b) Abbreviated Score = 52 equivalent to 100% (13 x 4)

DIMENSION VI: HOSTILITY

Ítems : 11, 24, 63, 67, 74, 81

This dimension encompasses behaviors related to unchanneled aggressive impulses.

socially acceptable form.

Number of items for both forms a) General 6

b) Abbreviated : 6

Two Ways a) Maximum Score = 24 equivalent to 100% (6 x 4)

b) Puntaje Abreviado = 24 equivalent to 100% (6 x 4)

DIMENSION VII: PHOBIAS

Ítems : 13, 25, 47, 50, 70, 75, 82

The items that comprise this dimension primarily reflect symptoms that have
have been observed with high incidence in conditions called phobic anxiety or
agoraphobia.

They encompass fears of a phobic nature oriented towards travel, open spaces, or places.
audiences.

Number of items = 7

Maximum Score = 28 equivalent to 100% (7 x 4)

The abbreviated form is not included; it was removed.

DIMENSION VIII: PARANOID IDEATION (PARANOIA)

Ítems: 8, 18, 43, 68, 76, 83

It derives from the notion that paranoid behavior is better understood from a
symptomatic point of view. The paranoid phenomenon is more effectively conceived
as a way of thinking.

Number of items = 6

Maximum Score = 24 equivalent to 100% (6 x 4)

The shortened form is not included, it has been removed.

DIMENSION IX: PSYCHOTICISM

Ítems : 7, 16, 35, 51, 62, 77, 85, 90

The access route taken to build this dimension involves samples of a wide
spectrum of psychotic behaviors.

Four items reflect the primary symptoms described by Kraepelin for schizophrenia.
auditory hallucinations, external control of thought. Insertion of thoughts
externals and disaggregation of thought (16, 7, 35, 62)

Additionally, some less defined psychotic behaviors are represented, as such

as signs of a schizoid lifestyle.

Item number = 5

Maximum Score = 32 equals 100% (8 x 4)

Abbreviated form is not included. It has been removed.

PROTOCOL

The SCL-90 scale has 5 columns headed by a word or a phrase,

whose definitions are clarified below.

NOTHING : The patient does not report any discomfort related to the symptom.
questioned (0 POINTS)

A little : Some discomfort associated with the symptom but it is more or

less infrequent and of low intensity (1 POINT)

MODERATELY: The patient experiences discomfort regularly and

with moderate intensity (2 POINTS)

ENOUGH : Discomfort associated with the symptom regularly and of

high intensity (3 POINTS).

IN EXTREMIS : Extreme discomfort due to intensity and/or frequency (4

POINTS

The patient must choose the column that best expresses their issues.
RATING AND ANALYSIS

For the calculations, the scores obtained in the items of each dimension are summed: that is
the score of that dimension

Then those scores are converted into % to graph the psychopathological profile of
patient in a direct percentile system.

Hypochondria:

Ptj. Obtenido = 10
Max point = 48

48 - 100
10 - x
X = 1000 / 48 = 20 .83%

A 'Global Symptoms Index GSI' can also be obtained, which is achieved

dividing the total score obtained by 90.

Ex.: Pt. Total = 61

ISG = 61 / 90 = 0.67 or 67%

For a qualitative analysis. Castillo arbitrarily set the score 2 as the value
maximum. Figures above this level can be considered as pathological level.

DIAGNOSIS

For the total scale, use the 9 dimensions and draw the Psychopathological profile.

Since the percentage analysis is direct, we must proceed according to the following criteria:

PERCENTAGES OF:

75 to 100 Defined Symptoms on the Scale. In any case, it requires

treatment
50 to 75 Relevant symptoms that require attention and possible treatment.
25 to 50 Expected or normal symptomatic level
0 to 25 Markedly normal. But it can also indicate to us
alterations according to correlation with other tests.

For the Shortened SCL - 90, only 5 dimensions are used:

I : Hypochondria
II : Obsessive Compulsive
IV : Depression
V : Anxiety
VI : Hostility
The psychopathic profile is outlined and diagnosed according to the same criteria for the
total scale.
