    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Personality Studies

    Background:

    • Mayo's (1969) study explored "normals with symptoms."
    • New Personal Illness measures were utilized for validation.
    • Understanding symptom presentation in relation to personality is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend and cross-validate Mayo's (1969) findings.
    • To examine personality differences across symptom groups.
    • To correlate symptom reporting with personality traits.

    Main Methods:

    • Matched groups of psychiatric patients, symptom-free normals, and "normals with symptoms."
    • Matching criteria included age, sex, and symptom count (Delusions-Symptoms-States Inventory).
    • Personality Deviance Scales were administered to assess personality traits.

    Main Results:

    • "Normals with symptoms" exhibited the highest Extrapunitive scores.
    • Symptom-free normals displayed the lowest Intropunitive scores.
    • Psychiatric patients scored lowest on Dominance.

    Conclusions:

    • Personality traits, such as extrapunitiveness and intropunitiveness, are associated with symptom reporting.
    • Dominance may be inversely related to psychiatric patient status.
    • Findings contribute to understanding the interplay between personality and illness presentation.
