The purpose of this investigation was to determine if a relationship exists between anxiety and skin diseases. It was hypothesized that subjects wtih different dermatoses would have different anxiety levels. Subjects with the following skin diseases were compared: atopic dermatitis, cystic acne, noncystic acne, tinea versicolor, and pityriasis rosea. Anxiety levels were measured by use of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The STAI consists of two twenty-item self-report rating scales for two types of anxiety: A-State anxiety, which is transitory or situational, and A-Trait anxiety, which is chronic or an enduring personality trait. A one-way analysis of variance revealed significant differences between the aforementioned groups in both A-State and A-Trait anxiety, with the mean elevations highest in the subjects with disfiguring acne (cystic) and intolerably prurific eczema (atopic dermatitis).
本调查的目的是确定焦虑与皮肤病之间是否存在关联。研究假设患有不同皮肤病的受试者会有不同的焦虑水平。对患有以下皮肤病的受试者进行了比较：特应性皮炎、囊肿性痤疮、非囊肿性痤疮、花斑癣和玫瑰糠疹。使用状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）测量焦虑水平。STAI由两个包含20个项目的自我报告评定量表组成，用于测量两种类型的焦虑：A-状态焦虑，即短暂的或情境性的焦虑；以及A-特质焦虑，即慢性的或持久的人格特质焦虑。单因素方差分析显示，上述组在A-状态焦虑和A-特质焦虑方面均存在显著差异，其中毁容性痤疮（囊肿性）和奇痒难耐的湿疹（特应性皮炎）患者的平均焦虑水平升高最为明显。
