Fundamental Analysis of the Relation between Physical and Mental Factors in Health Assessment

为了获得与健康评估有关的基本知识，对大阪大学新生进行了体能测试和心理测试UPI测试（大学人格清单测试）结果之间的关系进行了调查和比较。最近5年（1983 ~ 1987年）的新生考试人数超过了1.1万人。因此，在一台个人计算机上建立了一个数据库，其中包括从这些试验中获得的大量数据。然后根据UPI测试结果，对学生的体能进行比较，结果表明，积极性格的大一新生在体能活动方面明显超过积极性格的大一新生，而退休或保守性格的大一新生在体能活动方面不如非保守性格的大一新生。这种心身关系在女学生中几乎不存在。同时，为了对UPI测试的60个项目进行系统的分类，应用了一个大型系统结构分析程序，并发现该程序对这一目的是非常有用的。

A fundamental analysis of the relation between the results of physical fitness tests and a psychological test, UPI Test(University Personality Inventory Test), which are executed to the new students of Osaka University, have been investigated and compared in order to obtain fundamental knowledge associated with the health appraisal.The number of the fresh students examined is more than 11,000 for the last five years (1983-1987). Therefore, a database, which includes a tremendous number of data, which have been obtained from these tests has been constructed on a personal computer. Then according to the results of the UPI Test, the physical ability of the students were compared, and it has been shown that freshmen of active personnality are ssignificantly exceed in physical activities, and that those who are of retiring or conservative personality are physicaly inferior to those who are not. It has also been shown that such psychosomatic relation is hardly observed in female students.In the meantime, in order to systematically classify 60 items of UPI Test, a procedure for the structural analysis of large-scale systems has been applied, and it has ben found that the procedure is quite useful for this purpose.
