A clinical study was done to investigate how the personality traits of Lumbago are reflected in the Minesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI). This study was done on 35 lumbago patients(23 lumbago due to Kidney-asthenia<腎虛腰痛> and 12 lumbago due to Spleen-asthenia<脾虛腰痛>). The results were as follows ; 1. The mean T-scores on each scale were within normal range in lumbago group. 2. The personality traits of lumbago showed elevation seales of Hs, D, Hy. 3. Comparing lumbago due to Kidney-asthenia group with lumbago due to Spleen-asthenia group, scale of HS, D, Hy, Pa(P<0.05) were significantly higher in the former. 4. According to pattern analysis, Psycho-neurotic trait was recognized in 8.70% of lumbago due to Kidney-asthenia group, 33.33% of lumbago due to Spleen-asthenia group. This finding supports the existing hypothesis that Spleen-asthenia(脾虛) are strongly related to Seven-modes-of-emotions(七情) than Kidney-asthenia(腎虛).

In this cluster analysis of out-patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) we described the psychological features and personality patterns of these patients. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was administered to 29 IBS patients who received treatment in the gastroenterology department of Ajou University Hospital to produce individual profiles for each patient. The 29 profiles with 13 standard scales, 15 content scales and 11 personality scales were subjected to cluster analysis resulting in three clusters of the original sample. Titles used to describe the psychological features and personality patterns seen in the three clusters included : (1) depression and anxiety : (2) somatization and denial of affect ; (3) anger overcontrol. Future studies on the treatment of IBS patients may well consider these features, as IBS patients have different psychological patterns.

연구목적 본 연구는 19세 남자에서 그레이브스병이 정신건강에 영향을 미치는 정도를 다면적 인성검사인 군인성검사(Military Personality Inventory, MPI) 결과를 통해 정량적으로 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 우리는 2008년 2월부터 2010년 1월까지 병무청으로 군 신체검사를 받으러 방문한 19세 남자 중 다른 내외과 및 정신건강의학과 질환이 없는 건강한 대상자들 592명과 그레이브스병으로 확진된 대상자들 148명의 MPI 결과를 수집하고 분석하였다. 결 과 인구학적 특징에서 대상자들은 19세 남자로 나이와 성별이 동일하였으며, 교육수준, 사회경제적 상태, 부모관계, BMI 모두에서 그레이브스병 환자군과 정상대상자군 사이에 차이가 없었다(χ²=0.089, p=0.766; χ²=5.090, p=0.278; χ²=5.988, p=0.112; t=-0.635, p=0.526). 다면적 MPI 결과에서 타당도 척도에서는 긍정왜곡(fakinggood) 하위 척도 점수가 환자군에서 유의하게 낮았고(t=3.507, p<0.001), 부정왜곡(faking-bad) 하위척도 점수와 희귀도(infrequency) 하위 척도 점수는 두 군 간의 유의한 차이가 없었다(t=-1.700, p=0.090; t=-0.519, p=0.604). 신경증 척도에서는 불안(anxiety), 우울(depression), 신체화(somatization), 인격장애(personality disorder) 하위척도 점수가 모두 환자군에서 유의하게 높았다(t=-3.323, p<0.001; t=-4.210, p<0.001; t=-6.202 p<0.001; t=-2.872, p<0.01). 정신증 척도에서는 조현병 및 편집증 하위 척도 점수 모두 두 군 간의 유의한 차이가 없었다(t=-0.158, p=0.874; t=-0.846, p=0.398). 결 론 MPI 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 19세 남자에서 그레이브스병 환자는 정상대상자보다 불안 및 우울 수준이 더 높았으며, 신체적 염려 또는 증상을 더욱 호소하였고, 내향성이나 충동성과 같은 성격장애 성향이 더욱 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess influences of psychological factors on sleep disturbances in young adults through the revised version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Methods: Two hundred and ninety nine college students in Gyeonggi-do completed the MMPI-2 and a questionnaire related to sleep disturbances and collected data were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: The odds of tooth grinding increased significantly with the increase of T-score of hysteria (Hy) scale. The increase of T-score of hypomania (Ma) and social introversion (Si) scale significantly contributed to the risk of insomnia. The occurrence of insomnia increased significantly as T-score of somatic complaints (RC1) and psychoticism (PSYC) scale increased. The odds of tooth grinding increased significantly as T-score of anxiety (ANX) and family problems (FAM) scale increased. The occurrence of insomnia decreased significantly with the increase of T-score of type A behavior (TPA) scale. The increase of T-score of dominance (Do) scale significantly contributed to the risk of tooth clenching. The odds of tooth grinding decreased significantly as T-score of MacAndrew alcoholism-revised (MAC-R) scale increased, whereas it increased significantly as T-score of addiction potential scale (APS) increased. No scale of MMPI-2 significantly affected the occurrence of snoring. Conclusions: T-scores of Hy, ANX, FAM, Do, MAC-R, and APS scales on MMPI-2 affected the risk of bruxism. T-scores of Ma, Si, RC1, PSYC, and TPA scales on MMPI-2 influenced the occurrence of insomnia. The psychometric instrument such as MMPI-2 is helpful in understanding and managing bruxism and insomnia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between psychological factors and symptoms of oral mucosal diseases by means of the revised version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Methods: Three hundred and eighteen college students in Gyeonggi-do completed the MMPI-2 and a questionnaire related to symptoms of oral mucosal diseases and collected data were analyzed by Student's t-test and one way ANOVA. Results: Subjects who have experienced herpetic stomatitis revealed significantly higher mean values of T-scores than subjects who have not on hypochondriasis (Hs) and hysteria (Hy) clinical scales of the MMPI-2 (p<0.05). In comparison with subjects who have had recurrent aphthous ulceration, subjects who have not had it manifested significantly higher elevations on the schizophrenia (Sc) clinical scale (p<0.05). Subjects who have suffered oral lichen planus (OLP) showed significantly higher mean values of T-scores than subjects who have not on paranoia (Pa) (p<0.05) and hypomania (Ma) (p<0.01) clinical scales. Mean values of T-scores on Ma clinical scale were significantly higher in subjects having experienced glossodynia than in subjects having not experienced (p<0.05). Subjects having felt taste disturbance exhibited significantly higher elevations on Hs (p<0.0001) and Hy (p<0.01) clinical scales compared to subjects having not. Conclusions: Symptoms of oral mucosal diseases such as herpetic stomatitis, taste disturbance, OLP, and glossodynia were found to be related to Hs, Hy, Pa, Ma clinical scales of the MMPI-2. Therefore, comprehensive psychological evaluations of those oral mucosal diseases may be beneficial in a therapeutic approach.

The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, the independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results: 1. Clinical scales of MMPI-2 Hs showed a low positive correlation with lavender; MMPI-2 D with ylang-ylang, thyme, and lavender; MMPI-2 Hy with lavender; MMPI-2 Pd with thyme and lavender; MMPI-2 Mf with clary sage and lavender; MMPI-2 Pa with clary sage and lavender; MMPI-2 Pt with thyme and lavender; and MMPI-2 Sc with thyme and lavender. MMPI-2 D and Si showed a low negative correlation with rosemary; and MMPI-2 Mf, Pt, and Si with rose. 2. Restructured clinical scales RC1 showed a low positive correlation with ylang-ylang and lavender; RC2 with thyme and lavender; RC4 with jasmine; and RC6 with clary sage and lavender. RC2 and RC7 showed a low negative correlation with rosemary; RC4 with peppermint; and RC6 and RC8 with frankincense.

Objective : This study aimed to find out whether the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) scales are useful in distinguishing social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and major depressive disorder. Methods : The study sample included 118 patients: 33 with social anxiety disorder, 53 with major depressive disorder, and 32 with panic disorder. Participants were classified according to the diagnosis indicated on their medical records. MMPI-2-RF scores were derived from MMPI-2 protocols. Results : The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the elevated scales were consistent with the diagnostic and clinical characteristics of each diafnostic group. Logistic regression analyses identified several scales that were useful in differentiating the diagnostic groups. The higher Cognitive Complaints (COG) scale significantly differentiated major depressive disorder from the other groups. The higher Self-Doubt (SFD) scale and Somatic Complaints (RC1) scale were useful in differentiating social anxiety disorder and panic disorder respectively. The lower Cynicism (RC3) scale was also useful in differentiating social anxiety disorder. Other scales that were useful in distinguishing between pairs of groups were also identified. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that the MMPI-2-RF scales can be useful for discriminating anxiety disorders.
