We tested the hypothesis that increased interrogative suggestibility may contribute to the shaping and maintaining of conversions symptoms. Interrogative suggestibility was measured in 12 patients with conversion disorder and 10 control patients with confirmed neurological disease matched for age, premorbid intelligence, and as closely as possible in terms of their neurological symptoms to the patients with conversion disorder. Our observations do not support the contention that individual differences in interrogative suggestibility are of importance in the etiology of conversion disorders.
我们检验了这样一种假设,即增加的疑问暗示性可能有助于转换症状的形成和维持。对12例转换障碍患者和10例确诊为神经疾病的对照患者进行了疑问暗示性测量,这些对照患者在年龄、病前智力方面与转换障碍患者相匹配,并且在神经症状方面尽可能与转换障碍患者相近。我们的观察结果不支持疑问暗示性的个体差异在转换障碍病因学中具有重要意义这一论点。
