The current study examined the role of personality traits on psychosomatic distress (PD) and tested the hypothesis that the association between perfectionism and PD would be moderated by self-compassion. One hundred and seventy-three community volunteers, of whom 24.9% were men, mean age 31.52 ± 13.29, reported online on the DS14, a measure of Type D personality, on the TCI-140, a measure of temperament and character, on the Frost multidimensional perfectionism scale, on the short form of the self-compassion scale and on the SOMS-7 for psychosomatic symptoms. We defined psychosomatic distress as the product of the symptom count and severity rating score of the SOMS-7. The hierarchical linear regression model that included all the personality variables as well as the interaction term between self-compassion and perfectionism accounted for 25% of the variance in PD. The interaction between perfectionism and self-compassion entered into the model in the last block was highly protective. High self-compassion moderated the effect of perfectionism on PD. Our finding correspond with the notion that personality can enhance PD but can also mitigate it. Protective personality traits, such as self-compassion, might be good targets for psychological intervention.
本研究考察了人格特质对身心困扰（PD）的影响，并验证了这样一个假设，即完美主义与 PD 之间的关联会受到自我同情的调节。173 名社区志愿者（其中 24.9%为男性），平均年龄 31.52±13.29 岁，在线报告了 DS14（一种 D 型人格量表）、TCI-140（一种气质和性格量表）、Frost 多维完美主义量表、自我同情量表的简短版本和 SOMS-7（用于身心症状）。我们将身心困扰定义为 SOMS-7 的症状计数和严重程度评分的乘积。包括所有人格变量以及自我同情和完美主义之间的交互项的层次线性回归模型解释了 PD 变异的 25%。在最后一个块中进入模型的完美主义和自我同情之间的交互作用具有高度的保护作用。高自我同情调节了完美主义对 PD 的影响。我们的发现与这样一种观点相符，即人格特质既可以增强 PD，也可以减轻 PD。自我同情等保护性人格特质可能是心理干预的良好目标。
