摘要

雖然過去研究顯示五大人格特質（Big Five personality traits）與情緒行為存在關聯性。但是，人格特質與與良導絡之間的研究目前仍然缺乏。因此，本研究分析五大人格特質與情緒狀態及良導絡的相關性。本研究針對30名平均年齡為30±6歲的健康女性，進行問卷填寫及良導絡數值檢測。問卷內容包含五大人格量表（Big-Five Inventory）及情緒自評量表（Depression Anxiety Stress Scales）。以Spearman等級相關係數（p）分別探討五大人格量表的五個人格面向個別得分、情緒自評量表的三種情緒狀態個別得分、良導絡左右平均值三者之間的相關性。結果顯示（1）神經質型人格特質得分與大陵穴（p = .49,p = .006）、神門穴（p = .40,p = .030）、太白穴（p = .42,p = .022）和束谷穴（p= .40, p = .029）良導絡數值呈現顯著正相關。（2）焦慮情緒得分與大陵穴（p = .39, p = .032）和陽谷穴（p = .45,p = .012）數值呈現顯著正相關。（3）壓力情緒得分亦與大陵穴（p = .37, p = .044）數值呈現顯著正相關。至於五大人格面向與情緒狀態的相關分析結果方面，（1）友善型人格特質得分與憂鬱（p = -.67,p ＜ .001）、焦慮（p = -.45,p = .013）及壓力（p= -.47,p = .009）的情緒得分呈現顯著負相關。（2）外向型人格特質得分與壓力（p = -.38, p = .042）的情緒得分呈現顯著負相關。（3）神經質型人格特質得分與壓力（p = .41, p = .024）的情緒得分呈現顯著正相關。本研究是首篇同時分析人格特質、情緒狀態與良導絡的相關性。結果顯示擁有外向型與友善型人格特質者較不會有憂鬱、焦慮與壓力的否定情緒，此狀況與神經質型人格特質為相反。且人格特質、情緒狀態與良導絡的數值呈現相關性，雖然，膚表穴位與臟腑的關係仍有待更多研究進行釐清，但透過本研究的結果顯示良導絡儀器可利用作評估情緒狀態之輔助工具。

Although previous research has demonstrated the Big Five personality traits are associated with emotional state, studies on personality traits and the Ryodoraku is still lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the correlations among the Big Five personality traits, emotional state, and the Ryodoraku. In this study, 30 healthy women with a mean age of 30 ± 6 years was asked to response to a questionnaire and to test for Ryodoraku measurements. The questionnaire included the Big-Five Inventory and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (p) was used to assess the correlations among the five dimensions of the Big-Five Inventory, the three emotional states of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and the mean (left and right) measurement of Ryodoraku. Results showed that (1) neuroticism personality trait was positively associated with the HC-7 (p=.49, p=.006), HT-7 (p=.40, p=.030), SP-3 (p=.42, p=.022), and BL-65 (p=.40, p=.029) acupoints of the Ryodoraku; (2) anxiety emotional state was positively associated with HC-7 (p=.39, p=.032) and SI-5 (p=.45, p=.012); and (3) stress emotional state was positively associated with HC-7 (p=.37, p=.044). Regarding the correlations between the Big-Five Inventory and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, (1) agreeableness personality trait was negatively associated with depression (p=-.67, p ＜ .001), anxiety (p=-.45, p=.013, and stress emotional states (p=-.47, p=.009); (2) extraversion personality trait was negatively associated with stress emotional state (p=-.38, p=.042); (3) neuroticism personality trait was positively associated with stress emotional state (p=.41, p=.024). The present study is the first report that assessed the correlations among personality traits, emotional states, and Ryodoraku measurements at the same time. Findings indicated that individuals with extraversion and agreeableness personality traits tended not to have the depression, anxiety, and stress negative emotional states, which was the opposite of the situation in individuals with neuroticism personality trait. In addition, personality traits and emotional states were correlated with Ryodoraku measurements. Although the exact relationship between the skin acupoints and Zang-fu (functional entities stipulated by traditional Chinese medicine) remains to be clarified, our findings suggested that Ryodoraku could be used as an adjunct approach for the evaluation of emotional states.
