RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: The symptomatic and behavioral correlates of childhood trauma in schizophrenia are beginning to emerge in the literature. This study aimed to investigate whether the association between personality traits and schizophrenia with childhood abuse can be replicated in Koreans using the Multiphasic Minnesota Personality Inventory (MMPI). METHODS: Eighteen schizophrenias with childhood abuse and 24 schizophrenic comparisons without abuse history were recruited at the inpatient units of two general hospitals and the subjects completed the MMPI. RESULTS: Subjects with schizophrenia plus childhood history of abuse had less educational years (p<.001). After controlling the educational year as a covariate, abused schizophrenic patients had higher scores in the Schizotypal (p=.003), Dependent (p=.014), Passive-aggressive (p=.034), Borderline (p=.045) subscales. For the validity and clinical subscales, significant differences were found in the F scale (p=.036), Hypochondriasis (p=.042), Depression (p<.001), Hysteria (p=.002), Personality disorder (p=.001), Paranoia (p=.024), Psychasthenia (p=.001) and Schizophrenia (p=.006) subscales. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that childhood abuse in schizophrenia is associated with more complex features of personality characteristics rather than specific cluster B personality traits.

Objective: To study the defense style of undergraduates with cluster B personality disorders. Methods:26 undergraduates with cluster B personality disorders were diagnosed by PDQ~ +4 and PDI from 2826 undergraduates, then they and 63 normal undergraduates were assessed with DSQ (defensive style questionnaire). Results: ①The incidence of histrionic, narcissistic, borderline and antisocial personality disorders were 0.25%?0.50%?0.39% and 0.11% .②The undergraduates with B cluster personality disorder had higher scores in immature defenses and idealization, omnipotenic-devaluation and isolation than normal control (t=3.18-7.03)(P
RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the symptomatology of cluster-B personality disorders from perspective of the Five-Factor Model (FFM).Methods:PDQ +4 was administered to college students and minor criminals to screen cluster-B subjects, Cluster-B patients were then diagnosed by conducting interview using PDI-IV.FFM of the subjects are measured with NEO-PI-R.Results:Cluster-B patients scored higher in Neuroticism(62.0?10.6), and lower in, Agreeableness(38.4?11.5) and Conscientiousness (38.4?11.2)than normal adult.Extraversion(45.9?11.5)and Openness to Experience(45.0?9.3)are near the lower limits.Bivariate analysis between PDI-Ⅳ and NEO-PI-R showed that APD negatively correlated with Agreeableness (r=-0.25,P
