Sleep paralysis occurs in normal persons. This phenomenon had been studied psychoanalytically or in terms of the deviation of the victims' personality. This present study aimed to assess the personalities of such persons by using the MMPI and the Maudsley Personality Inventory. The subjects showed a slightly higher mean T score on the MMPI Paranoia Scale than those who did not have this experience. Although this personality difference might be related to the occurrence of the phenomenon, this difference is probably too small to take a major role. It is unlikely that the subjects developed paranoic behavior through their experiences of sleep paralysis, since their experiences were very few. Some of the subjects might have only overestimated their behavior and experiences concerning delusions and hallucinations, with the result that their Paranoia scores were higher and perhaps their kanashibari experiences exaggerated.
睡眠瘫痪症在正常人中也会出现。这种现象已经从精神分析的角度或根据受害者性格偏差进行过研究。本研究旨在通过使用明尼苏达多项人格测验（MMPI）和莫兹利人格量表来评估这类人的性格。与没有这种经历的人相比，这些受试者在MMPI偏执量表上的平均T分数略高。尽管这种性格差异可能与该现象的发生有关，但这种差异可能太小，无法起到主要作用。受试者不太可能通过睡眠瘫痪症的经历发展出偏执行为，因为他们的经历很少。一些受试者可能只是高估了他们关于妄想和幻觉的行为及经历，结果导致他们的偏执分数更高，也许他们的梦魇经历也被夸大了。
