Female patients with anorexia nervosa (N = 34) were compared with two control groups of nonorganically ill, nonpsychotic female psychiatric patients. One control group was matched on several demographic variables; the other group was unmatched. Profiles on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory indicated less psychologic disturbance among the anorectic patients than in the matched control sample, but more feelings of turmoil or distress than were reported in studies of adolescent medical patients and high school seniors. Anorectic patients were described by ward personnel as less physically capable and more timid than controls; they also displayed less heterosexual interest, interacted less often with both peers and staff, were viewed as being unhappier, and were described as expressing anger in relatively passive ways.
将34名神经性厌食症女性患者与两组非器质性疾病、非精神病性女性精神科患者对照组进行比较。一组对照组在几个人口统计学变量上进行了匹配；另一组则未进行匹配。明尼苏达多相人格调查表的结果显示，厌食症患者的心理困扰比匹配的对照组样本少，但比青少年内科患者和高三学生研究中报告的更多的混乱或痛苦情绪。病房工作人员描述厌食症患者身体能力不如对照组，且比对照组更胆小；他们还表现出较少的异性恋兴趣，与同龄人和工作人员的互动较少，被认为更不快乐，且被描述为以相对被动的方式表达愤怒。
