Sick building syndrome (SBS) is an increasingly common problem, although continued skepticism exists regarding its validity. Because of this, the attribution of complaints to psychogenic causes or mas hysteria persists. In this study (N = 111), self-report measures of psychopathology (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory [Hathaway & McKinley, 1983] and SCL-90-R [Derogatis, 1983]) and physical symptom reports failed to discriminate symptomatic from nonsymptomatic workers in an affected building but could more generally differentiate workers in the target building from control subjects. These results suggest that SBS cannot be justifiably attributed to psychological factors alone, although working in a contaminated environment appeared to have deleterious psychological consequences for some workers. Smoking history (in pack/years [packs per day x number of years smoked]) was reliably associated with the development of symptoms in exposed workers. Issues related to the assessment of psychological complaints in SBS are discussed.
病态建筑综合征（SBS）是一个日益普遍的问题，尽管对于其真实性仍存在持续的怀疑态度。正因如此，将投诉归因于心理原因或癔症大流行的情况依然存在。在这项研究（N = 111）中，心理病理学的自我报告测量方法（明尼苏达多相人格调查表[哈撒韦和麦金利，1983年]和症状自评量表-90修订版[德罗加蒂斯，1983年]）以及身体症状报告，未能在受影响建筑中区分有症状和无症状的工人，但总体上能够将目标建筑中的工人与对照对象区分开来。这些结果表明，虽然在受污染的环境中工作似乎对一些工人产生了有害的心理影响，但病态建筑综合征不能合理地仅归因于心理因素。吸烟史（以包/年[每天吸烟包数×吸烟年数]计算）与接触工人出现症状有可靠的关联。文中讨论了与病态建筑综合征中心理投诉评估相关的问题。
