摘要
Utilizing the MMPI [Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory] alexithymia scale and the Cornell Medical Index, the relationship between alexithymia and somatic complaints was investigated in a normal college sample. Although an initial analysis showed alexithymia negatively related to somatic complaints, when the tendency to deny problems on self-report measures was controlled for, the 2 variables were positively related. The positive relation between alexithymia and somatic complaints found for females was not found for males in this sample.
