Abstract
Rather, they were young adults and presumably healthy people. They completed the Arabic Scale of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ASCFS; Abdel-Khalek and AlTheeb, 2006) and the Arabic version of the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R; Derogatis, 1994). Results: Table 1 indicated that women had significantly higher mean scores on all the scales except hostility than their male counterparts. Table 2 shows that all the Pearson correlations between the ASCFS and the SCL90-R subscales were statistically significant ( pb .001). Among the total sample, they ranged between 0.42 and 0.66, and the correlation between CFS and both depression and anxiety was identical, i.e., 0.59. Conclusions: The sex-related differences in both CFS and 8 out of the 9 subscales of psychopathology were significant in favor of women. CFS was significantly correlated with all psychopathology subscales including depression and anxiety. Limitations: The sample was a convenient rather that a random one.
