气功对性格的影响──追踪研究

Effects of qigong on personality-A Longitudinal study

用艾森克人格问卷（ＥＰＱ）和Ａ型行为类型问卷对１４３名被试者进行了为期二年的追踪研究，其中６５名坚持练气功者作为气功组，７８名练气功不足二个月即中止练气功者作为对照组，结果表明尽管开始学练气功时气功组和对照组的ＥＰＱ和Ａ型行为类型问卷的结果并无明显差别，但二年后气功组Ｎ分显著下降，Ｅ分升高，Ｎ分和Ｅ分与对照组均有显著差别，气功组二年后ＴＨ，ＣＨ和ＴＨ＋ＣＨ分及Ａ型行为类型者均有所下降，但与对照组的差别未达显著水平。上述结果表明练气功有助于性格中神经质维度的改善，并可使人趋于外倾，也可能对Ａ型行为类型的改变有帮助。结果也表明们向Ａ型行为类型者和内倾者可能对练好气功有不利影响。

Personality and behavior patterns were investigated with Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ)and Type A Behavior Pattern Questionnaire on 143 subjects.All of the subjects were measured with these two questionnaires as they began to practise qigong and two years later.Sixty-five of them,who persisted in practising qigong during the two years,were used as qigong group,and 78 of them who discontinued practising qigong within the first two months,were used as control group.It is found that no significant differences between qigong and control group in the first measurement,but 2 years later N scores decreased and E scores increased in qigong group.There were significant differences between qigong and control group,the scores of TH+CH in qigong group decreased but compared with control group no significant difference was observed.These results suggest that qigong is useful to the improvement of neuroticism dimension of EPQ and could make a person tend to extroversion.Results also show that the introverts and the person with higher score on TH+CH maybe have an adverse effect on practising qigong persistently.
