为了研究性别相关的差异，在工人中，490名日本市政厅雇员（248名妇女）完成了医疗症状自评量表，体感放大量表（SSAS），和情绪状态的轮廓（POMS），沿着问卷调查他们的工作环境。在女性中，SSAS得分与工作压力感知呈正相关，与社会支持水平呈负相关（均p < 0.01）。女性与SSAS评分显著相关（p < 0.01），控制了躯体症状总数、POMS紧张焦虑和抑郁评分、工作压力感知和社会支持的影响。躯体感觉放大的现象可能是必不可少的估计性别特异性症状的工作人口。
To examine gender-related differences in somatization among workers, 490 Japanese municipal office employees (248 women) completed the Medical Symptom Checklist, Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS), and Profile of Mood States (POMS), along with questionnaires on their working environment. In women, SSAS scores were positively associated with perceived work stress, and negatively with social support levels (both p < 0.01). Female sex was significantly associated with SSAS scores (p < 0.01), controlling for the effects of total somatic symptom count, POMS tension-anxiety and depression scores, perceived working stress, and social support. The phenomenon of somatosensory amplification might be essential in estimating gender-specific symptoms in a working population.
