Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the correlation between personality characteristics and family environment of undergraduate medical students taking psychology course. MethodsIn June 2017， a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 67 undergraduate medical students taking psychology course， and all the selected individuals were assessed using Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory （MMPI） and Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version （FES-CV）. Then Pearson correlation analysis was performed between the original scores of MMPI subscales and the scores of FES-CV subscales. ResultsThe scores of hypochondriasis， depression， hysteria， psychopathic deviate， masculine-femininity， paranoia， psychasthenia and schizophrenia in MMPI of undergraduates were all higher than those of the national norm， with statistical differences （t=2.070~8.350， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The scores of cohesion， intellectual-cultural orientation， organization and achievement orientation in FES-CV of undergraduates were all lower than those of the national norm， while the scores of conflict tendency was higher than that of the national norm， with statistical differences （P<0.05 or 0.01）. Correlation analysis showed that cohesion score in FES-CV was negatively correlated with the scores of correction， hypochondriasis， depression and hysteria in MMPI （r=-0.410~-0.331， P<0.01）. Conflict tendency score was positively correlated with the scores of hysteria and psychasthenia （r=0.315， 0.415， P<0.01）. Active-recreational orientation score was negatively correlated with hypochondriasis score （r=-0.367， P<0.01） and positively correlated with schizophrenia score （r=0.346， P<0.01）. Control score was positively correlated with hysteria score （r=0.366， P<0.01）. ConclusionUndergraduate medical students taking psychology courses exhibit neuropathic and paranoid personality characteristics， and the personality characteristics are closely related to family environment.
