Outline of Final Research Achievements

We evaluated psychological characteristics of 30 patients (mean age 68±12 years; 86.7% male) admitted acute coronary syndrome using the Tokyo University Egogram(TEG) New Ver. Ⅱ. The TEG attempted to explain and predict human behaviour in terms of the relative strength of five functional ego states; Critical Parent (CP), Nurturing Parent (NP), Adult (A), Free Child (FC) and Adapted Child (AC). AC was significantly lower than other ego state (CP: 65 (47-81), NP: 57 (38-72), A: 52 (32-89), FC: 64 (33-81), AC: 27 (8-59), Data are median (interquartile range). p<0.05).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

急性冠症候群患者の性格はACの低さ，すなわち，相手の考えや気持ちを認識できず、自己中心的、非協調的な対人関係をとる幼さが特徴であり，子どもの自我が行動様式に影響している可能性が示唆された。
