Nailbiting and oral aggression in a Turkish student population

Abstract: The study investigated the relationship between the occurrence and intensity of nailbiting in a Turkish student population and the association with questionnaire measures of oral aggression, trait anxiety and intropunitive and extrapunitive hostility. The results indicated that the most consistent trait associated with nailbiting was oral aggression. Taken together with other previous research these findings are thought to offer some support to the construct of oral personality.

“…Higher levels of trait anxiety in a group of 40 adults with These results have indicated an effect of age on the relationship between anxiety and onychophagia. A different mechanism may motivate the behaviour in childhood than in adulthood where it may indicate emotional instability [36]. Alternatively, the absence of elevated anxiety levels in children may indicate that anxiety is situational (state) rather than indicative of a predisposition (trait).…”

“…Das bedeutet, daß Nägelkauer innerhalb der untersuchten (stark selektierten und damit nicht repräsentativen Population) streitlustiger und unverschämter waren sowie öfter fluchten. Auch in einer studentischen Stichprobe erzielten Nägelkauer signifikant höhere orale Aggressionswerte und hatten eine stärker aus geprägte Trait-Ängstlichkeit [Gilleard et al, 1988], Studentische Nägelkauer erzielten in einer Studie erhöhte Neurotizismus-und Introvcrsionswerte [Coleman und McCalley. 1948b], Eine andere Untersuchung fand bei einer Stichprobe von 90 Jugendlichen einen nur leicht erhöhten Score in der «Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale» bei Nägel kauern (18,9) im Vergleich zu Nicht-Nägelkauern (16.6).…”

“…Das gleiche gilt für Nagellänge und Erschei nungsbild [Spevak und Richards, 1980]. In einer Studie wurde eine Korrelation von 0,84 zwischen der selbsleingeschätzten Häufigkeit und der fremdeingeschätzten Schwere des Nägelkauens auf einer jeweils vierfach gestuften Skala ermittelt [Gilleard et al, 1988], Drei Untersuchungen fanden eine weitgehende Austauschbarkeit der Maße Nagellänge. Nägelkauverhalten und Erscheinungsbild der Nägel [Horan et al.…”
