The main goal of the study was to assess the relationship between affective temperaments and meteoropathy among women and examine meteorosensitivity as a mediator in this relationship. The issue of affective temperaments and meteoropathy has not been considered in the literature. The sample consisted of 450 Caucasian women gathered via the online recruitment platform. The participants' ages ranged from 18 to 70 years (M = 30.01; SD = 9.10). The Polish version of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire was used to assess affective temperaments (depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable and anxious). Meteorosensitivity and meteoropathy were assessed using the Polish adaptation of the METEO-Q questionnaire. A large positive correlation was found between meteorosensitivity and meteoropathy. Medium positive correlations were found between meteorosensitivity/meteoropathy and cyclothymic and anxious temperaments. Small positive correlations were revealed between depressive and irritable temperaments and both meteorosensitivity and meteoropathy scales. No correlation was found between hyperthymic temperament and meteorosensitivity/meteoropathy. Mediation analyses indicated cyclothymic and anxious temperaments affected meteoropathy both directly and indirectly through meteorosensitivity as a mediator. The most severe meteoropathy symptoms in the studied sample were asthenia, an indefinite feeling of malaise and irritability. The results suggest affective temperaments may be related to meteoropathy symptoms in women.
这项研究的主要目的是评估女性情感气质与气象病之间的关系，并检验气象敏感性在这种关系中的中介作用。情感气质和气象病的问题在文献中尚未得到考虑。该样本由通过在线招募平台收集的 450 名白种人女性组成。参与者的年龄在 18 至 70 岁之间（M = 30.01；SD = 9.10）。使用波兰版的孟菲斯、比萨、巴黎和圣地亚哥自动问卷评估情感气质（抑郁、环性、高敏、易怒和焦虑）。使用 METEO-Q 问卷的波兰语改编版评估气象敏感性和气象病。气象敏感性与气象病之间存在显著正相关。气象敏感性/气象病与环性和焦虑气质之间存在中度正相关。抑郁和易怒气质与气象敏感性和气象病量表之间存在小的正相关。高敏气质与气象敏感性/气象病之间无相关性。中介分析表明，环性和焦虑气质通过气象敏感性作为中介物，直接和间接地影响气象病。在研究样本中，最严重的气象病症状是乏力、不定的不适和易怒。研究结果表明，情感气质可能与女性的气象病症状有关。
