Introduction. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in temperament between So-Yang (SY) and So-Eum (SE) Sasang types using Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) scale to elucidate the biopsychological mechanism underlying the Sasang typology, a traditional Korean personalized medicine. Methods. 248 university students were categorized into three Sasang types, and series of t-tests were conducted, separately for male and female participants, to examine the difference of Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS), Behavioral Activation System (BAS), BAS-Drive (BAS-D), BAS-Fun Seeking (BAS-FS), and BAS-Reward Responsiveness (BAS-RR) scores between SY and SE Sasang types. Results. There were significant differences between Sasang types in the BIS/BAS subscales with consideration of gender. In male participants, BAS-total score of SY type (39.75 ± 4.56) was significantly (t = 2.462, p = 0.016) higher than that of SE type (36.68 ± 4.97). On the other hand, in female participants, BIS score of SY type (20.10 ± 4.01) was significantly (t = -2.097, p = 0.039) lower than that of SE type (21.83 ± 3.91). Discussion. The current study suggested relationship between Sasang typology and Behavior Inhibition and Activation Systems and showed significant differences in BIS/BAS scale between SY and SE Sasang types. Further studies on biological base of Sasang typology are needed.
引言。本研究旨在使用行为抑制系统/行为激活系统（BIS/BAS）量表，检验少阴（SY）和少阳（SE）体质类型之间的气质差异，以阐明韩国传统个性化医学——体质类型学背后的生物心理机制。方法。将248名大学生分为三种体质类型，分别对男性和女性参与者进行一系列t检验，以检验少阴体质类型和少阳体质类型在行为抑制系统（BIS）、行为激活系统（BAS）、BAS-驱力（BAS-D）、BAS-寻求乐趣（BAS-FS）和BAS-奖赏反应性（BAS-RR）得分上的差异。结果。考虑到性别因素，体质类型在BIS/BAS分量表上存在显著差异。在男性参与者中，少阴体质类型的BAS总分（39.75±4.56）显著高于少阳体质类型（36.68±4.97）（t = 2.462，p = 0.016）。另一方面，在女性参与者中，少阴体质类型的BIS得分（20.10±4.01）显著低于少阳体质类型（21.83±3.91）（t = -2.097，p = 0.039）。讨论。本研究表明体质类型学与行为抑制和激活系统之间存在关联，并显示少阴和少阳体质类型在BIS/BAS量表上存在显著差异。需要对体质类型学的生物学基础进行进一步研究。
