4138.50 Alexithymia, ambivalence over emotional expression, and eating attitudes, Hugh
Wagner, Stephanie Quinton, University of Central Lancashire, UK
We measured alexithymia (TAS-20), emotional expressiveness (EEQ), ambivalence over
expression (AEQ), eating psychopathology (EAT-26), and characteristics related to eating
disorders (EDI-2) in a non-clinical female sample. Despite the high frequency of alexithymia in
eating disorders, alexithymia was not related to total EAT-26, nor to body dissatisfaction and drive
for thinness. Bulimia was directly predicted by difficulty identifying feelings, and negatively by
difficulty describing feelings, as were asceticism, impulse regulation, and perfectionism. Direct
relationships with difficulty identifying feelings were found for ineffectiveness and interoceptive
awareness. Ambivalence over expressing anger predicted restrictive psychopathology, while
alexithymia subscales predicted bulimic attitudes.
4138.51 Quality of life in breast cancer patients, Hiroko Horike, Department of Psychology,
Tohoku-Gakuin University, Japan
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the quality of life and several
individual factors including treatment and personal control in patients with breast cancer.
Thirty-two outpatients were asked to fill out the questionnaire consisted of WHO QOL 26, the
health locus of control scales and open-end questions for the subjective experience of breast
cancer. The kind of treatment (mastectomy/ breast-conservation treatment) and other factors did
not affect to the quality of life in breast cancer patients. It was suggested that the internality of
health locus of control had positive correlation with the quality of life.
4138.52 Mental health in the case of mining subsidence, Virginie Dodeler, Cyril Tarquinio,
Sandrine Demoulin, Université de Metz, Laboratoire de Psychologie, France
This study aims at appraising to what extent mining subsidence can influence mental health.
Different studies have shown that characteristics of built environment can affect human health
(Evans & Cohen, 1998; Warr, 1987). Two groups of subjects were compared: a sample of people
from Cocheren (France) who undergo the effects of mining subsidence and a reference group.
Depression was assessed with the CES-D (Radloff, 1977), and anxiety with the STAI-Y
(Spielberger & al., 1983). Results show that higher scores of anxiety and depression are observed
in the group of victims.
4138.53 The factors in the formation of deflected personality and paranoid thinking, Xiaoqiao
Zhang, Ying Zhao, Deng Hu, Xiaojing Zeng, Yu Zhang, Research Center of Psychology
Science, Renmin University of China, China
We conduct studies of the three types of people (normal, deflected and the intermediate), basing
on their living experience and background before their adolescence. The result shows that, there
are three main factors in the formation of deflected personality and paranoid thinking: inborn
diathesis of fear in subconsciousness, level of the development of acquired thinking, and the
limitation of circumstances they live and grow up.
