236 college students completed Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory and Taylor's 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale. As predicted, the total scores on self-esteem and alexithymia were significantly negatively correlated-.42. Two factors of the subjects' orientations of alexithymia, difficulty recognizing and verbalizing feelings and difficulty describing feelings, explained 19% of the variance associated with self-esteem. These results suggest a negative association between difficulty in expressing emotions and college student's self-rated self-esteem.
236名大学生完成了库珀史密斯自尊量表和泰勒20项多伦多述情障碍量表的测试。正如预期的那样，自尊和述情障碍的总分呈显著负相关，相关系数为-0.42。述情障碍的两个因素，即识别和表达情感的困难以及描述情感的困难，解释了与自尊相关的19%的方差。这些结果表明，表达情感困难与大学生自评自尊之间存在负相关。
