ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the statistical validity and reliability limbic structure clinical evaluation scale EV-POL. Material and methods: The scale was applied to 30 patients with clinical diagnose for limbic structure problems; additionally 30 healthy subjects completed the scale. Results: The results showed and internal consistency, measured by Cronbach’s alpha of 0.919. Additionally the results showed that the scale’s ratings were significantly higher in the clinical group than in the control group. Conclusion: The results suggest that the scale is reliable and presents empirical validity.
