The authors administered a personality inventory, the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a distress scale, the Symptom Questionnaire, to all patients in a walk-in clinic of a general hospital during an influenza epidemic. Hostility, depression, anxiety and somatic symptoms were significantly higher in patients with upper respiratory tract infections (p less than .005); the majority scored in the range of psychiatric patients, regardless of whether patients had clinically classical influenza or merely symptoms and signs of another respiratory tract infection. There were no differences in the personality traits of extraversion or neuroticism between any of the groups, suggesting that hostility and distress were consequences of the viral infections and were largely unaffected by preexisting personality traits.
在流感流行期间，作者对一家综合医院的门诊诊所的所有患者进行了一项人格量表（艾森克人格量表）和一项痛苦量表（症状问卷）的测试。上呼吸道感染患者的敌意、抑郁、焦虑和躯体症状显著更高（p小于0.005）；无论患者临床上是否患有典型流感，还是仅有其他呼吸道感染的症状和体征，大多数患者的得分都在精神病患者的范围内。任何组之间的外向性或神经质人格特质均无差异，这表明敌意和痛苦是病毒感染的后果，并且在很大程度上不受先前存在的人格特质的影响。
