INFLUENCE OF THREE PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENTS ON PERSONALITY DIMENSIONS IN CHILDHOOD ASTHMA
Abstract
This paper studies the influence of three psychological treatments on different dimensions of personality in asthmatic children. Thirty nine asthmatic children were selected and randomly assigned to three therapeutic groups of 13 subjects each one: Relaxation, Systematic Desensibilization and Stress inoculation. The personality dimensions of anxiety, neuroticism, rigidity, extraversion, motivation and locus of control were measured before and after the therapy. The statistical analyses of the scores obtained in the questionaries showed signifficant changes in some of the dimensions considered.Downloads
