TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Music psychopathology. II. Assessment of musical expression JO - Psychopathology A1 - Steinberg, R. A1 - Raith, L. SP - 265 EP - 273 VL - 18 IS - 5-6 N2 - A short polarity profile which was well suited for the assessment of the musical expression of performances recorded from mentally ill patients and controls is described. 9 out of 12 polarities showed sufficient differentiating qualities, ranging from professional to poor amateur performances. Only 3 polarities had to be reformulated. The assessments of the 3 experts had a high interrater reliability and retest stability. The very significant correlation between the results of the experts and 50 independent subjects indicates the validity of the experiment.
