噩梦影响心理健康：神经质的调节作用
Nightmare Impacts Mental Health: The Moderation from Neuroticism Trait
摘要: 噩梦是内容恐怖，令人毛骨悚然的梦，是一种引起焦虑恐惧为主要表现的睡眠障碍。目前，对噩梦如何影响心理健康我们还知之甚少，本研究我们收集了56名噩梦频次不同的健康被试，旨在验证Levin (2009)提出情感网络失调模型对噩梦影响心理健康机制的理论构想。我们选择了两类不同的心理健康指标：主观幸福感和负性情绪；以及两类不同的潜在情感困扰指标作为调节变量：负性情感敏感性和神经质人格。结果表明噩梦的频发的确与生活中压力息息相关，并且影响主观幸福感和负性情绪的多少。但是负性情绪在回归分析和方差分析中显示出更好的敏感度。而在情感困扰的指标上只有神经质人格可以通过调节作用在噩梦频率和负性情绪之间产生交互效应。同时我们还发现了噩梦报告频率在性别和不同年龄段上的差异。本研究揭示了噩梦影响心理健康的人格作用机制，可能对噩梦相关心理障碍的诊疗提供帮助。
Abstract: Nightmare is characterized of its stressful and terrifying dream content, as a form of sleep disorders accompanied by the annoying daytime complications such as being anxious and experiencing overwhelming fear. So far, we have very little insight yet in understanding the mechanism underlying nightmare and its impact on mental health. For testing the applicability of the Affect Network Dysfunction model proposed by Levin (2009), we collect and match 56 subjects into 4 groups according to their monthly nightmare frequency, and we select two indexes for measuring the mental health, namely the well-being and Negative Affect; two indexes, Neuroticism and Negative Affect Sensitivity, to represent the Affect Stress as the moderator construct in the model. Firstly, the confounding effect from age and gender on nightmare frequency is consistent with previous studies. Our results indicate that the nightmare frequency is closely relate to the degree of subject’s perceived stress in life, and high nightmare frequency will damage on well-being and foster more negative effect. Whereas the negative effect had shown relatively more sensitivity in response to nightmare frequency than the well-being did. We also found that only the neuroticism could serve as the moderator to manipulate the relationship between nightmare and negative effect. This study has specified the significance of person’s trait in moderating the impact that nightmare frequency incur on people’s mental health, shedding a light on its relevant clinical application for the treatment and classification of nightmare.
