Can state and trait variables be disentangled? A methodological framework for psychiatric disorders

Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: The goal of this study is to propose conceptual and operational definitions of "state" and "trait", and a methodological approach to document empirically the state and trait aspects of a characteristic. An example using real data related to rapid eye movement latency for patients with major depressive disorder is presented to model the application of this method.
