“…The AD patients showed a high HA and a low RD in temperament, which corresponded to usually being cunning, devious, ineffectual, reserved, underachieving, alienated and cynical 19 . These personality characteristics are similar to those reported elsewhere 9–13 . The AD patients with low SD and C scores showed a higher tendency toward personality problems than the healthy controls 20 …”

“…It was reported that AD patients had personality traits such as restlessness, insecurity, anxiety, emotional lability, rigidity, hostility, neuroticism, hypersensitivity, hypochondriasis and depression 9–13 . Replication studies with more well‐designed methodological tools suggest that personality factors have a considerable impact on the progress of AD, although there is still a degree of controversy 14–17 …”

The aim of this study was to assess the personality traits of young male patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and to examine the correlations between temperament and character dimensions with clinical and other psychological factors. Fifty young adult male AD patients and 83 healthy controls were examined using the temperament and character inventory, the Beck depression inventory and the state-trait anxiety inventory. The AD patients scored higher on harm avoidance and lower on reward dependence, self-directedness and cooperativeness than the healthy controls. The illness duration and anxiety correlated negatively with the self-directedness score, and depression correlated negatively with reward dependence and the persistence scores in AD patients. These results suggest that AD patients have distinctive temperament and character dimensions compared to healthy controls. Moreover, illness duration and anxiety might be associated with some personality problems, and some temperament dimensions (e.g. reward dependence, persistence) may be linked to depressive symptoms in AD patients.

“…Therefore, micro-environmental factors do not appear to play an important role in the development of dry skin. The involvement of stress in atopic dermatitis (AD), a typical allergic dermatopathy in humans, has been recognized for many years [3,4,15,17]. Recently, detailed evaluation of the relationships between AD and the psychological state has also begun in Japan [9,10], and the interrelationship of psychological states such as depression, tension, and anxiety with the low water content of the stratum corneum in AD patients has been demonstrated.…”

“…The involvement of stress in AD, a typical allergic dermatopathy in humans, has been recognized for many years [2,14,16] and stress is considered to be one of the causes of AD [8,18]. Lammintausta et al [13] reported that psychic stress is the most common aggravating factor in adult AD and Cole et al [7] reported that psychotherapy is effective for the treatment of AD.…”

“…It is well known that differences in housing density and environmental conditions can affect the behavior, physiological functions, and immune function of rodents due to psychological stress [1, 3-6, 9, 15, 17, 19]. In humans, the involvement of psychological factors and stress in atopic dermatitis (AD), a representative allergic dermatopathy, is widely recognized [2,14,16]. For these reasons, psychological stress might play a role in the development and aggravation of wet skin lesions in the NOA mouse.…”
