重性抑郁障碍和广泛性焦虑障碍患者的色彩偏好及其对两者情绪水平的预测

Color Preferences and Their Prediction of Emotions in Patients with Major Depressive and Generalized Anxiety Disorders

【目的】探索重性抑郁障碍(MDD)、广泛性焦虑障碍(GAD)患者的色彩偏好及其对两者情绪水平的预测。【方法】对45例MDD患者和28例GAD患者以及41例健康志愿者进行色彩偏好测试,采用汉密尔顿抑郁量表HAMD)及汉密尔顿焦虑量表(HAMA)评估被试的抑郁和焦虑水平。【结果】MDD和GAD组比健康对照组更偏好于黑色,健康对照组比MDD和GAD组更偏好于黄色。在MDD组,黄色偏好顺序与HAMA得分呈负相关;紫色偏好顺序与HAMD得分呈负相关。在GAD组,红色偏好顺序与HAMA得分呈正相关,红色、黄色、白色偏好顺序与HAMD得分正相关。【结论】MDD和GAD患者存在不同的色彩偏好,这些偏好与各组的HAMA及HAMD得分相关联。这些发现或许为医疗环境色彩的合理布局提供参考。

[Objective] To explore the color preferences and their prediction of emotions in patients with major depressive （MDD） and generalized anxiety （GAD） disorders.[Methods] We administered the color preference test,Hamilton Depression Scale （HAMD） and Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA） in 45 patients with MDD,28 GAD,and 41 healthy volunteers.[Results] MDD and GAD groups more preferred black more than the healthy control group did,the latter group more preferred yellow more than the former two groups did.In MDD group,yellow preference negatively predicted HAMA score;purple preference negatively predicted HAMD score.In GAD group,red preference positively predicted HAMA score,while red,yellow and white preferences positively predicted HAMD scores.[Conclusion] There were significant differences on color preferences between patients with MDD and GAD,and their preferences were associated with the scores of HAMA and HAMD in each group.Our finding might provide some support for an optimal color-arrangement in medical settings.
