Study On Individual Characters And Family Factors In Children With Tic Disorder

Objective：To evaluate the individual characters and family factors in tic disorder(TD) children; to analyze the correlations between individual characters and familyfactors in TD children and to discuss the effect of family factors on individual behaviorsin TD children.Methods：63children with TD and62normal children were evaluated withEysenck Personality Questionnaire（EPQ）and Family Environment Scale-ChineseVersion（FES-CV） and self-designed questionnaire of family environment. Chi-squaretest was used to analyze the family factors, and t test was used to analyze results of EPQand FES-CV. Person correlation analysis was used to analysis the correlation ofindividual characters and family factors in TD children. Select psychoticism andneuroticism of character as dependent variable and age, gender, severity of tic disorder,whether combined with ADHD and family factors as independent variable to domultiple linear regression analysis.Results：①There were differences between the two groups including parentingtype, family type, father’s degree of education, mother’ s degree of education (p<0.05).②Comparison of EPQ: scores of psychoticism and neuroticism in TD group werehigher than the control group, and hide degrees were lower(p<0.05); among boys scoresof psychoticism in TD group were higher than the control group, and hide degrees werelower(p<0.05); among girls scores of neuroticism in TD group were higher than thecontrol group (p<0.05).③Scores of neuroticism in TD combined with ADHD werehigher than those simple TD children (p<0.05).④The scores of intimacy in TD groupwere lower than the control group and the scores of incompatibility in TD group werehigher than the control group (p<0.01).⑤Scores of intimacy in TD combined withADHD were lower than those simple TD children (p<0.05).⑥Correlation analysisshowed: psychoticism was negatively correlated with intimacy and positively correlated with incompatibility; in-extroversion was positively correlated with emotion expression;neuroticism was positively correlated with incompatibility.⑦Multiple linear stepwiseregression analysis suggested that the major influence factors on TD children’spsychoticism were whether combined with ADHD, incompatibility and severity of TD;the major influence factors on TD children’s neuroticism were whether combined withADHD, family type and intimacy.Conclusion:①Children with TD had obvious individual characters deviation andrelatively bad family environment which correlated with gender and combined withADHD.②There were correlations between individual characters and family factors inTD children.③Whether combined with ADHD, incompatibility and intimacy of family,family type and severity of TD were the major influence factors on TD children’spsychoticism and neuroticism.
