Somatosensory amplification refers to the tendency to experience somatic and visceral sensations as intense, noxious and disturbing and has been related to a variety of psychiatric disorders and more specifically to hypochondriasis. A Spanish version of the Somatosensory Amplification Scale was applied to a sample of 60 outpatients divided into three groups: hypochondriacs, non-hypochondriac somatizers and non-somatizers. The scale showed a good internal consistency (alpha = 0.70) although it did not show statistically significant differences between the three groups. A significant tendency to present higher scores in a self-rating rather than in an observer-rated depression scale, measured by the quotient between the scores in Beck Depression Inventary and Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale, was found in hypochondriacal subjects. This quotient significantly showed lineal correlation with Whiteley Index of hipochondriasis. We discuss the results and postulate the relationship of negative affectivity with this finding.
躯体感觉放大是指倾向于将躯体和内脏感觉体验为强烈、有害和令人不安的感觉，并且与多种精神障碍相关，更具体地说与疑病症有关。将一份西班牙语版的躯体感觉放大量表应用于60名门诊患者样本，这些患者被分为三组：疑病症患者、非疑病症性躯体化者和非躯体化者。该量表显示出良好的内部一致性（α = 0.70），尽管在三组之间未显示出统计学上的显著差异。在疑病症患者中发现，通过贝克抑郁量表和蒙哥马利-阿斯伯格抑郁评定量表得分的商来衡量，在自评抑郁量表而非观察者评定的抑郁量表中呈现更高分数的显著倾向。这个商数与怀特利疑病指数显著呈线性相关。我们讨论了结果并假定了消极情感性与这一发现的关系。
