A double blind retrospective study was carried out on a sample of children who were affected in a mysterious gas poisoning epidemic together with controls drawn from the same school. The dependent measures employed were the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (JEPQ), a Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale (HSC), Heart Rate (HR) and Skin Potential Response (SPR). A vigilance task was administered during assessment of the latter two variables. The affected children had significantly higher HR together with a marginal increase in SPR. It is proposed that constitutional factors play an important role in determining whether an individual is affected in such an epidemic.
对一群在一场神秘气体中毒疫情中受影响的儿童样本以及从同一所学校抽取的对照组儿童进行了一项双盲回顾性研究。所采用的因变量测量指标包括儿童艾森克人格问卷（JEPQ）、催眠易感性量表（HSC）、心率（HR）和皮肤电反应（SPR）。在评估后两个变量时进行了一项警觉任务。受影响儿童的心率显著更高，同时皮肤电反应有小幅增加。有人提出，体质因素在决定个体是否会在这类疫情中受到影响方面起着重要作用。
