Abstract

Previous studies suggested an association of alexithymia with other personality models, as well as with various psychiatric syndromes. However, with regard to current diagnostic systems, the clinical validity of alexithymia remains to be established. In a sample of 182 psychiatric outpatients, the lifetime prevalence of DSM-III-R axis I disorders was determined by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID) interviews. In addition, DSM-III-R personality disorders were assessed using the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-Revised (PDQ-R). On the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), 17% of the sample scored in the alexithymic range. A series of stepwise multiple regression analyses were performed, exhibiting no relationship between alexithymia and any of the DSM-III-R axis I lifetime diagnoses. In contrast, schizotypal, dependent, and avoidant personality dimensions, as well as a lack of histrionic features, emerged as significant predictors of alexithymia, which further supports the conceptualization of alexithymia as a personality dimension.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
