Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric illness associated with a number of personality disturbances. However, whether these personality characteristics are related to eating disorder symptomatology or emotion regulation is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate these relationships.
Twenty-four individuals with AN and 25 age- and premorbid intelligence-matched controls completed the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire, and scores were correlated with measures of emotionality and negative mood states, and eating disorder symptomatology. AN was associated with increased scores on schizoid, borderline, avoidant, dependent, obsessive compulsive, negativistic and depressive personality dimensions, relative to controls. In AN, eating disorder symptomatology did not significantly correlate with scores on any personality dimension. However, a number of personality characteristics were found to correlate with negative mood states.
The findings suggest that personality disturbances in AN are not related to disorder-specific symptoms, but are related to negative mood states.
神经性厌食症(AN)是一种与多种人格障碍相关的精神疾病。然而,这些人格特征是否与饮食障碍症状或情绪调节有关尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨这些关系。
24 名 AN 患者和 25 名年龄和智力匹配的对照组完成了人格诊断问卷,评分与情绪和负性情绪状态以及饮食障碍症状的测量相关。与对照组相比,AN 患者的分裂型、边缘型、回避型、依赖型、强迫型、消极型和抑郁型人格维度得分增加。在 AN 中,饮食障碍症状与任何人格维度的评分均无显著相关性。然而,许多人格特征与负性情绪状态相关。
研究结果表明,AN 中的人格障碍与特定于疾病的症状无关,而是与负性情绪状态有关。
