Personality characteristics in patients with three obstetric complications.

Abstract: &NA; To determine the degree of specificity between personality factors and individual complications the personality characteristics of patients with three common obstetric complications were assessed. The MMPI and Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale were administered at the beginning of the third trimester. The diagnoses of excessive weight gain, premature rupture of the membranes, and preeclampsia were determined from clinical records. The abnormal groups obtained higher anxiety, social introversion, and hypochondriasis scores than the control group (a random sample of normal cases). Other personality variables were associated with one or more of the abnormal groups.
