Abstract

The experiment examined whether reliable personality differences exist between (a) women who suffer from spasmodic and congestive dysmenorrhea and (b) women who experience dysmenorrhea and women who do not. A sample of 12 congestive dysmenorrhea sufferers, 12 spasmodic dysmenorrhea suffers, and 24 nonsufferers obtained from a larger sample of university women, completed the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, and Personality Research Form. Results indicated that congestive sufferers differed from spasmodic sufferers only in their level of impulsivity. However, dysmenorrhea sufferers differed significantly from nonsufferers in that dysmenorrhea sufferers were more similar to a neurotic sample, were depressed, anxious and introverted, and less independent, playful, satisfied with themselves, positive about their physical and social selves than nonsufferers. In spite of these differences, standard scores from the personality measures suggested that dysmenorrhea sufferers were not maladjusted.

摘要

该实验研究了以下两组女性之间是否存在可靠的人格差异

（a）患有痉挛性痛经和充血性痛经的女性，以及（b）经历痛经的女性和未经历痛经的女性。从大学女性的较大样本中选取了12名充血性痛经患者、12名痉挛性痛经患者和24名非患者作为样本，她们完成了月经症状问卷、明尼苏达多相人格量表、田纳西自我概念量表和人格研究表。结果表明，充血性痛经患者与痉挛性痛经患者的差异仅体现在冲动水平上。然而，痛经患者与非患者存在显著差异，痛经患者更类似于神经质样本，表现出抑郁、焦虑和内向，并且与非患者相比，独立性较差、缺乏乐趣、对自己不满意，对自己的身体和社交形象持消极态度。尽管存在这些差异，但人格测量的标准分数表明痛经患者并没有适应不良。
