摘要
In a previous investigation we showed that thoughts experienced during periods of nocturnal wakefulness contribute to understanding the insomnia complaint We also demonstrated the problems with open-ended thought listings, such as low thought frequencies, large standard deviations loss of subjects due to missing data, and difficulties with states-of-mind (SOM) ratios, Because of these difficulties and the expertise and expense involved in coding thoughts, in the current study we developed and evaluated the Self-Statement Test:60+ (SST:60+)-a 34-item inventory measure of thoughts reported by older individuals while hying to fall asleep. Results on 445 individuals showed good reliability and validity for the measure. The findings also demonstrated that negative thoughts and the SOM ratio provide good indices of dysfunctional thinking during periods of nocturnal arousal. Positive thinking, which appears to be a strategy to combat negative thoughts, may serve to buffer the impact of negatives.
