Those who experienced war or other disaters have severe physical and psychological problems for several years, and their severity is so tremendous. Accordingly, studies on PTSD patients have also been achieved actively. In this study, with victims of Sampoong Department collapse accident, we attempted to identify which groups the survivors who experienced the trauma are divided into, and to find out each group's clinical manifestations and differences in personality factors. Our subjects are the survivors of Sampoong Department collapse accident - total 610 cases. We got three discriminated groups by cluster analysis, which based on the T-scores of MMPI. The first group(I) is neurotic group, which has a somatization tendency, and high level of anxiety and depression. The second group(II) is normal-reaction group, which didn't show particular symptoms. The third group(III) is symptom-complaint group, which shows uniquely elated score in the F scale and entirely elated scores in the clinical scales. The three group didn't manifest any significant difference in the demographic data, except for age. Hospitalization periods of I and III were longer than that of II, and I and III got more severe grades in the disturbance grade than II. We compared personality traits among three groups, using 16PF. The result indicates that II (normal-reaction group) is the most psychologically healthy and III(symptom-complaint group) is quite vulnerable and psychopathologic.
