東大式健康調査票(THI)を用いた女子短大生と両親の心身の自覚的健康度とその関連性

抄録

Using the Todai Health Index (THI) questionnaire, which provides 12 scales and three discriminant factors, this study clarified psychophysiological conditions of 364students of a women's college in Nagano City, consisting of 212 commuters from home (called commuters) and 152 others (non-commuters), and those of their mothers and fathers. The 12 scales in THI are: subjetive symptoms (SUSY), respiratory organs (RESP), eye and skin (EYSK), mouth and anus (MOUT), digestive organs (DIGE), impulsiveness (IMPU), lie scale (LISC), mental instability (MENT), depression (DEPR), aggressiveness (AGGR), nervousness (NERV), and irregularity of life (LIFE), and the three discriminant factors are: psychosomatic organs (PSD), neurosis (NEURO), and schizophrenia (SHIZO).The major results were as follows: 1 . In the analysis for all subjects pooled, the positive correlation between the students and their fathers was observed for NERV only while that between the students and their mothers was found for RESP, EYSK, MOUT, IMPU, LISC, DEPR and SCHIZO. 2. When the subjects were broken down by the student's commuting pattern, the positive correlation between the students and their mothers was found in SUSY, RESP, DIGE, IMPU, LISC and SCHIZO for the commuters' group but none in the non-commuters' group; no correlation was found between the students and their fathers in both groups. These results suggest that the parent-child association in psychophysiologicalconditions is determined by the environmental factors such as the extents of contactbetween the daughter and her mother or father and the residential pattern rather thanthe genetic factors.
