Abstract
The purpose of the work is to determine and analyze the peculiarities of correlations between indicators of personality features and anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of practically healthy women of middle intermediate somatotype. Primary personality indicators and anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of 17 practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age of the middle intermediate somatotype were selected from the database of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Correlation analysis was performed in the licensed package “Statistica 6.1” using the non-parametric Spearman’s method. In the analysis of correlations between personality indicators and anthropo-somatotypological parameters of the body of almost healthy Ukrainian women of middle intermediate somatotype, multiple, in most cases, moderate inverse, reliable and unreliable relationships of Spielberger’s personal anxiety index with all indicators of distal epiphyseal width (WDE) of limbs, almost half of the thickness of skin and fat folds (TSFF), endo- and mesomorphic components of the somatotype and bone and fat components of body weight; indicators of accentuation of the nature of the stuck and exciting types according to Shmishek with the majority of the transverse sizes of a trunk and a pelvis; indicators of accentuation of character of cyclothymic and demonstrative types according to Shmishek with the majority of longitudinal and third of circumferential sizes of a body; indicators of accentuation of the character of dysthymic and exalted types according to Shmishek with almost all indicators of WDE of the extremities, a third of the circumferential size of the body and the bone component of body weight; indicators of the scale of general internality of the level of subjective control, the level of subjective control in areas of achievement, and educational (professional) relations according to Rotter with the majority of cephalometric dimensions, body weight, most longitudinal, girth body sizes and indicators body weight; an indicator of the level of subjective control in the field of family relations according to Rotter with the majority of indicators of WDE of extremities and TSFF of extremities. Quantitative analysis of reliable and average strength of unreliable correlations revealed the highest relative percentage of relationships between: the leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck and the components of somatotype, WDE limbs and TSFF; psychodynamic features of personality according to Spielberger and WDE of extremities, components of somatotype, indicators of component composition of body weight, transverse body sizes and TSFF; indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek and WDE extremities, transverse, longitudinal, girth body size and somatotype components; indicators of the level of subjective control by Rotter and WDE of the extremities, indicators of the component composition of body weight, longitudinal and girth body dimensions, TSFF and cephalometric dimensions.
Highlights
The ability to predict pathology using such an easy-touse research method as anthropometric is a promising area of research for any researcher
Primary indicators of personality traits and anthroposomatotypological indicators of practically healthy Ukrainian women of middle intermediate somatotype (n=17) aged 21 to 35 years were selected from the database of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya
Taking into account the body mass index (BMI) and the subjective status of men, the processing of results by hierarchical regression revealed that the tendency to muscularity in men is significantly associated with neuroticism (β= 0.29) [4]
Summary
The ability to predict pathology using such an easy-touse research method as anthropometric is a promising area of research for any researcher. In addition to anthropo-somatotypological indicators, the existence of a connection between dermatoglyphic indicators and indicators of personality traits, in particular for the Ukrainian population, has been proved [22]. The results of this kind of work can be successfully applied in various fields of clinical medicine, in particular in sports [7] and forensic medicine [22]. There is a need to conduct an experimental study taking into account as many variables as possible that are essential for determining normative anthropometric indicators and indicators of personality and their relationships within a particular population
