    Aplicación de un cuestionario de detección de casos psiquiátricos en dos poblaciones de la práctica médica general
    (1985) Ezbán B., Miriam; Padilla, G.P.; Medina Mora, M.E.; Gutiérrez, C.E.
    El Cuestionario General de Salud de Goldberg, es un instrumento de detección de casos, y fue aplicado en dos poblaciones de la práctica médica general. Con el propósito de determinar las dimensiones que mide el instrumento, se realizó un análisis factorial con los datos de cada población por separado, y se comparó la versión de 5 factores derivada de cada una. En los resultados se comparan los reactivos que tuvieron mayor peso en cada una de las poblaciones, así como la forma en que se agruparon. En términos generales, las mayores diferencias se observaron en la agrupación de los reactivos de ansiedad y depresión; sin embargo las diferencias de agrupación no impiden la posibilidad de derivar una sola versión breve y escalada del instrumento que sea aplicable a poblaciones con diferentes características sociodemográficas.

    Relationship between masculinity and feminity in drinking in alcohol-related behavior in a general population sample
    (1990) Lara-Cantú, M.A.; Medina-Mora, M.E.; Gutiérrez, C.E.; Instituto Mexicano de Psiquiatria, Delegación Tlalpan, D.F., Mexico.
    The relationship between gender-related personality traits, on one hand and drinking, permissiveness towards drinking, and social as well as personal problems associated to drinking on the other, was studied in a general population sample from the City of Morelia, Mexico. Four gender-related traits scales were used for measuring assertive and aggressive masculinity and affective and submissive feminity, in addition to a standardized questionnaire for assessing drinking and other associated behavior. Some of the main results showed that people with high scores in affective feminity were less willing to allow drinking. Men who adopted a submissive feminine role and women with high masculine aggressive scores were more permissive as regards drinking. Among men, assertive masculine and affective feminine traits were more characteristic among those who drank than among abtainers. Drinking among women was related to liberal attitudes towards drinking and to aggressive masculinity. As regards the number of drinks consumed per month, assertive masculinity and liberal attitudes among men and affective feminity and liberal attitudes among women predicted the number of drinks. Affective feminity was negatively related to drinking. Regarding drinking-associated problems, frequency of drunkenness and submissive feminity among males predicted greater personal and social problems. Among women, drunkenness frequency and number of drinks were the most significant predictors. Contrary to what has been found in other countries, gender was a better drinking predictor than gender-related personality traits.
