Utilizing the MMPI Alexithymia Scale and the Cornell Medical Index, the relationship between alexithymia and somatic complaints was investigated in a normal college sample. Although an initial analysis showed alexithymia negatively related to somatic complaints, when the tendency to deny problems on self-report measures was controlled for, the two variables were positively related. The positive relation between alexithymia and somatic complaints found for females was not found for male in this sample.
利用明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）述情障碍量表和康奈尔医学指数，在一个正常大学生样本中研究了述情障碍与躯体不适之间的关系。尽管初步分析表明述情障碍与躯体不适呈负相关，但在控制了自我报告测量中否认问题的倾向后，这两个变量呈正相关。在该样本中，未发现男性述情障碍与躯体不适之间存在女性中所发现的正相关关系。
