Abstract

This study investigated that the somatizing tendency group would have both attentional biases and memory biases for somatic-symptom words. As a result of previous studies, the tendency of somatization consistently showed a tendency of bias in somatic symptoms-related words. The purpose of this study is to investigate the bias of somatic symptoms-related words using probing task. Also, the aim of this study indicates that significant impairment in memory inhibiting affects people of somatizing tendency group differently from the normal people. The subjects were college students who showed high somatizing tendency at Somatic Symptoms Index(SSI-3/5) developed by Rief in 1996. As a result, First, the somatizing tendency group presented significant short reaction time for somatic-symptoms words in 2000m sec. Second, The results of the test show that the RIF effect both types of words(somatic symptoms related & neutral) has been found on control group. The RIF effect of somatic symptoms words, however, has failed to affect the test result of the somatizing group. In other words, the somatizing tendency group more remembered the somatic-symptom words than the neutral words. These results suggested that the somatizing patients group have both attentional biases and memory biases for somatic-symptom words. Therefore, the hypothesis in which the somatizing patients group would have both attentional biases and memory biases for somatic-symptom words was partly supported
