相对较少的研究探讨了慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）患者的人格特征。将38名CFS受试者的个性特征与40名健康对照者和40名患有多发性硬化症（MS）的受试者进行了比较，多发性硬化症是一种与CFS有许多共同症状的慢性疾病（例如，疲劳），但具有已知的神经学底物。受试者在Cloninger的人格生物社会理论中进行了检查，该理论描述了气质的基本维度。与健康对照组相比，两个疾病组显示出相似的伤害回避水平升高，奖励依赖水平降低。MS组的持续性水平低于对照组和CFS组。慢性病和个性之间的关系的影响进行了讨论。(C)1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
Relatively few studies have examined the personality characteristics of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The personality profiles of 38 CFS subjects were compared with 40 healthy controls and 40 subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic illness that shares many symptoms with CFS (e.g., fatigue), but has a known neurological substrate. Subjects were examined within Cloninger's biosocial theory of personality, which delineates basic dimensions of temperament. Both illness groups displayed similarly elevated levels of Harm Avoidance, and lower levels of Reward Dependence as compared with healthy controls. The MS group showed a lower level of Persistence than controls and CFS subjects. Implications for the relationship between chronic illness and personality are discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.
