description ObjectiveTo analyze the correlation between personality characteristics and family environment of undergraduate medical students taking psychology course.MethodsIn June 2017, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 67 undergraduate medical students taking psychology course, and all the selected individuals were assessed using Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (FES-CV). Then Pearson correlation analysis was performed between the original scores of MMPI subscales and the scores of FES-CV subscales.ResultsThe scores of hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychopathic deviate, masculine-femininity, paranoia, psychasthenia and schizophrenia in MMPI of undergraduates were all higher than those of the national norm, with statistical differences (t=2.070~8.350, P<0.05 or 0.01). The scores of cohesion, intellectual-cultural orientation, organization and achievement orientation in FES-CV of undergraduates were all lower than those of the national norm, while the scores of conflict tendency was higher than that of the national norm, with statistical differences (P<0.05 or 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that cohesion score in FES-CV was negatively correlated with the scores of correction, hypochondriasis, depression and hysteria in MMPI (r=-0.410~-0.331, P<0.01). Conflict tendency score was positively correlated with the scores of hysteria and psychasthenia (r=0.315, 0.415, P<0.01). Active-recreational orientation score was negatively correlated with hypochondriasis score (r=-0.367, P<0.01) and positively correlated with schizophrenia score (r=0.346, P<0.01). Control score was positively correlated with hysteria score (r=0.366, P<0.01).ConclusionUndergraduate medical students taking psychology courses exhibit neuropathic and paranoid personality characteristics, and the personality characteristics are closely related to family environment.
