“…Was den MPI betrifft, finden F ranks und Leigh [1959] für Asthmati ker im Neurotizismuswert wie wir eine Zwischenstellung zwischen Nor malen und Neurotikern. Sie lassen sich also nicht klar als «Neurotiker» einstufen, sondern nehmen psychopathologisch eine Stellung ein, wie wir sie in Hypothese 2 vorausgesagt und verifiziert haben.…”

An investigation with the MMPI and the MPI on 63 subjects (one-third each asthmatics, psychogenic respiratory disturbances and normal controls) proved, on a purely test-diagnostic level, earlier psychosomatic hypotheses to be correct [Heim et al., 1970]. The relative deviation between a self-rating of dyspnea and the respiration tests in a correlative and factor-analytic analysis with test variables revealed a personality relevant significance in the sense of a hystero-hypochondriac syndrome. Analysis of variance of the test data showed that the repartition of the sample into disease groups (asthmatics, psychogenic respiratory disturbances, normal controls) and into behaviour groups (aggravators, minimizers, neutrals) was psychologically meaningful.

“…Lopez Ibor [17] described the disorder as a 'form of introjected anxiety', and many recent authors place asthmatics in a position intermediate between normal and neurotic subjects with regard to neuroticism [18][19][20][21][22], The au thors of these five papers all utilised psychometric tests in arriving at their conclusions, but in the matter of how the 'random' samples of asthmatics were obtained few gave details. As H ardyck and Moos [23] have dem onstrated, sub-groups of patients with the same disease may be as dif ferent from each other as either of the sub-groups is from a control group.…”

Bronchial Asthma: A Problem Attributable to Sampling when Establishing its Psychopathology

Using two psychometric tests (the EPI and the HDHQ) as indicants of psychopathology in patients with bronchial asthma, a sample of those who were attending a hospital clinic revealed significant psychological disturbance. This was in contrast with results obtained from cases of the same disorder sampled at random from a register to which the name of every new asthmatic was added at time of first (and sometimes only) contact with the hospital clinic. The group of clinic attenders had high mean neuroticism and hostility scores when first tested. Two years later their neuroticism scores were similar, though their hostility scores had decreased-this was especially demonstrable in the extrapunitive hostility subscale ‘criticism of others’. The latter trend towards normality coincided with a reduction in frequency of clinic attendance, though the reason for this association may be related to other factors. The group of asthmatics taken from the register of diagnosed cases returned normal scores for both neuroticism and hostility. This study confirms that bias can be introduced as a result of the patient selection method. Before conclusions can be reached, attention must be paid to the representative nature of the sample.

“…Franks and Leigh 51 gave the Maudsley Personality Inventory and conditioned the eye blink response to 20 outpatient asthmatics, 40 neurotics, and 20 normal adults. They found no differences in speed of conditioning or introversion-extraversion, but the neuroticism scores of asthmatics were between the neurotic and normal groups on the personality inventory.…”

Experimental and clinical studies relating psychological variables and allergic illness are summarized and critically reviewed. Special emphasis is given to methodological issues. The review, embracing principally English-language reports since 1950, focuses on respiratory allergy-asthma, rhinitis, hay fever.A SYCHOLOGICAL variables, viewed as etiological factors or as concomitant processes in allergic disease, have long been of speculative interest. Since 1950, the body of research and clinical reports relating psychological variables and allergic illness has grown rapidly. This paper will summarize and critically review this body of literature with the aim of integrating findings from diverse sources and methods. Special emphasis will be placed on methodological aspects in order to provide a focus for evaluating the current status of the area and to suggest profitable areas for future work.Mainly, papers in English dealing with psychological factors in respiratory allergy, published since 1950, are reviewed. Previous work has been comprehensively reviewed by Dunbar and Leigh; 37 however, certain influential earlier papers are included in the present review as points of orientation. A From the Allergy Department of the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and the Permanente Medical Group, San Francisco, Calif. few papers from other languages also are discussed and are conceptually linked to investigations in English-speaking countries. The great size of this body of research dictates these limitations and the focus on respiratory allergy.
