다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The differences of psychologic tests were found between groups of allergic diseases, who noted the degree of skin reactivity on allergy skin test. In the present study the MMPI and allergy evaluations were given to 115 patients with bron- chial asthma, allergy rhinitis, both of them and other allergic diseases, who visted at Allergy Clinic in Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine from March 1988 to September 198K There were differences of personality charac- teristics between groups of allergic reactions. The weak skin reactivity group scored higher on depression, psychasthenia, social introversion (p<0.05) and feminity (in male patients)(p<0.01) and scored lower on psychopathic deviste than those of strong skin reactivity group. Therefore these findings confirm the previous conclusion that there are measurable, important psychological differences within groups of allergy patients, related to degree of demonstrable allergy reactivity. And allergy p a.tients had neurotic tendence. The patients who noted that their allergic simptom- developed on psychic stresses showed higher scores on hypochondriasis (p<0.05), depression (p 0.05) and hyste'ria (p<0.05) than those of the patients who did not note any relationship between development of allergy symptoms and psychic stresses. And the patients who noted that their allergy simptoms were relapsed by psye4ic stresses showed higher scores on hypochondriasis (p,0.05), depression (p <0.05), hysteria(p<0.01) and social introversion (p <0.05) than those of patients who noted that the relapse of their allergy symptoms was not related to psychic stresses. The results repremnt that psychic factors in addition to pure antigen-antibody reactions will participate in development and aggravation of allergy symptoms.
