and a clinicla assessment of each patient was also done by psychiatrist. T scores on the subscales of these two measures of the dighty three subjects provided the basic data for this study.
The correlation between Extraversion and somatizaation was positive but not significant in total neurotic disorder group(N=83). And correlations revealed that Somatization was positively related to Extraversion in generalized anxiety disorder
