Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result of carrying out this study for the purpose of verifying the hypothesis that "increased physical immune function also contributes to maintenance of mental health and improvement of mental symptoms", and to establish the concept of "psycho-immunity theory", the relationship between physical health and lymphocytes, granulocytes, immune cell activity, stress hormones, etc. was shown. Regarding the mental health level itself, a detailed examination of the Defense Function Scale (DFS) shows that the individual's mental development level is important, and the strength of protecting ego boundaries is a major key to maintaining mental health. This is the real form of “psycho-immunity” that was confirmed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、精神的につらい状況に陥った人に対して、安寧に結びつく要因とその原理に精神保健の側面から接近したものである。国民の「健康な生活」との関係で言えば、精神的な安定が崩れにくい外的要因(自然環境・社会経済因)の確保と共に、内的要因(精神的ストレスに強い健常人における人格構造)の解明につながるものであり、“精神免疫理論”概念が「幸福な人生の時間」の最大化に貢献すると考えられる。
