[Extraversion (e), neuroticism (n), and psychoticism (p) in deaf people (author's transl)]. 1975

G Savoldelli

The personality of deaf people was studied within the framework of the Eysenck concept of personality. Data gathered with the Personality Inventory AUPI could be evaluated in 66 deaf people (43 connatal or early acquired deafness, 25 late deafness, i.e. after full language development). The consistency of the AUPI Scales in the normal population about corresponds to that in the deaf people. -- Those who went deaf "early" showed a statistically significant higher degree of extraversion than the normal population. There was no significant difference in neuroticism (emotional lability). "Early" deaf people had the highest value of psychoticism; and those who developed deafness "late" also differed significantly from the normal population. Psychoticism is--according to Baumann and Dittrich reactive aggressivity and depression (reactive to frustration).
