Abstract
The factor analytically-derived Factor V of the Rating of Statements List (RSL) [or Statement Evaluation Test (SET) (Dutch: BUL)] is described. This RSL-FV is named “Sociability”, and appears adequate to test the clinical impression that male myocardial infarction patients (Mips) are more “sociable” than “healthy” men. From the clinical literature, the hypothesis is formulated that male Mips, in comparison with healthy men, evaluate statements concerning appreciation of social intercourse more positively. By means of the RSL-FV, this hypothesis is tested 3 times, and in all 3 studies, a statistically-significant support for this hypothesis is found.
