“…There have been several previous research approaches used to measure and compare psychological environments. For example, Stern (1963, 196S) and Pace and Stern (1958) have developed a test which measures college environments, the College Characteristics Index (CCI), and Findikyan and Sells (1966) have quantified and measured the dimensions of 60 campus organizations. Ellsworth (1965), in a somewhat similar approach, has studied patient and staff perceptions of different psychiatric treatment programs and has found that staff perceptions on effective wards are quite different from staff perceptions on ineffective wards.…”

The development of a Ward Atmosphere Scale, which differentiates between the social atmospheres of psychiatric inpatient wards, is described. An initial form of the scale was given to patients and staff on 14 wards from Veterans Administration, state, community, private, and university hospitals. The 2nd form of the scale consists of items which significantly differentiate between wards for patients and/or staff. This form includes 12 subscales, e.g., Spontaneity, Autonomy, Affiliation, Aggression, Variety, and Support, each of which measures the emphasis on 1 dimension of ward atmosphere. Ward profiles which compare average patient perceptions of different wards have been constructed. The importance of developing measures of psychological environments and the implications relating to the matching of individual needs and environmental press were discussed.

“…The latter research was particularly relevant to the present study, because it pro vided another part of the instrument used to describe the manager's environment in the ISU/OI project. Findikyan and Sells (1966) and Task Orientation. These four factors were used as a taxonomy on which to profile each organization, and the results seemed to agree with an a priori clustering of organ izations based on judged similarity.…”
