RESEARCHES ON BEHAVIORAL PATTERN FOR RISK FACTORS OF HEALTH DISORDERS

I 心身患者的行为方面：神经学方法。对于心身患者（主要是厌食症），我们开发了评估由多巴胺功能系统控制的行为方面的量表。根据新量表的分数，我们将受试者分为两组：有反应者和无反应者。对于中枢神经系统，我们还发现敏感受试者和不敏感受试者之间的差异。这一发现非常有趣，似乎与“意识”有关，这是心身患者最重要的主题之一。II A 型行为模式：开发测量。我们检查了“A 型行为模式”量表（CTS-30）的心理测量特性。因素分析得出了三个内部一致的因素：“敌意”、“完美主义”和“工作狂”。根据评分，我们将CHD（冠心病）组与对照组进行比较。结果，我们通过实证证实了该量表的临床有效性。III A型行为模式：行为干预的效果。对CHD患者进行理性情绪治疗（RET），我们证实A型行为模式（例如“完美主义”）倾向下降，以及“非理性信念”下降。我们需要进行后续调查。然而，这些结果非常有趣。 IV“压抑行为”（C型行为模式）的测量。开发了评估“压抑行为”的量表，该量表是C型行为的核心，而C型行为是罹患癌症的危险因素之一。它包括37个项目，由5个内部一致的分量表组成：压抑、接受、过度适应、耐心和合作。此外，量表的心理测量特性也得到了证实。

I Behavioral aspects of psychosomatic patients : Neurological approach.On psychosomatic patients (mainly anorexia), we developed scales assessing behavioral aspects which were controlled by dopamine function system. Based on the scores of the new scales, we classified the subjects into two groups, responders and non-responders. With respect to the central nervous system, we also found difference between subjects being sensitive and those being insensitive. This finding was greatly interesting, and seemed to be related with "awareness" which is one of most important topics for psychosomatic patients.II Type A behavior pattern : Developing measurement.We examined psychometric properties of "Type A behavior pattern" scale (CTS-30). A factor analysis yielded 3 internally consistent factors : "hostility", "prefectionism", and "workaholism". Based on the scores, we compared CHD (coronary heart disease) group with control group. As a result, we empirically confirmed clinical validity of the scale.III Type A behavior pattern : Effect of behavioral intervention.Carried out rational emotive therapy (RET) to CHD patients, we confirmed decreasing tendency of Type A behavior pattern (e.g. "perfectionism"), as well as decreasing "irrational belief". We need to survey follow-up. Nevertheless, these results were deeply interesting.IV Measurement of "repressive behavior" (Type C behavior pattern).A scale assessing "repressive behavior", which is the core of Type C behavior which is one of risk factors in developing cancer, were developed. Including 37 items, it consisted 5 internally consistent subscales : repression, acceptance, overadaptation, patience, and cooperation. Also, psychometric properties of the scale were confirmed.
