Introduction

Some authors have found an association between affective temperaments and mood fluctuations, and a common comorbidity between somatization disorders and mood disorders. In addition, It’s known a significant association between abnormal affective temperaments and somatoform disorders.

Objectives

The present study investigated associations between affective temperaments and somatization in a 55 healthy subjects sample.

Aim

The aim of the study was to describe associations between affective temperament and somatization scores in a sample of healthy subjects.

Method

In this observational study we adopted the following rating scales: Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), 17-item Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Hypomania check list 32(HCL-32), Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), DCPR diagnostic criteria for psychosomatic research, Brief TEMPS-A, Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire (MSPQ), Somatosensory Amplification Scale- SSAS.

Results

Logistic regression analysis showed that cyclothymic temperament scores at Brief TEMPS-A are associated with MSPQ scores for somatic perception (somatosensory amplification) and SASS scores (hypochondriacal aspects). Moreover, depressive temperaments scores at Brief TEMPS-A are significantly associated to MSPQ tools.

Conclusion

Our data suggest an association between an affective temperamental dysregulation and somatization aspects in a 55 healthy subjects sample.
