BACKGROUND Personality and emotional factors may be contributing to the emergence of somatic complaints. The purpose of this study was to analyse the combined contribution of emotional awareness, moods and personality to somatic complaints in children and adults. METHOD Participants were 1,476 children (M= 9.90 years, SD= 1.27, 52.10% girls) and 940 adults (M= 32.30 years, SD= 11.62, 64% women) who were administered self-reports. Analysis was performed using fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), an analytical technique that enables in-depth analysis of how a series of causal conditions contribute to a given outcome. RESULTS Emotional awareness, moods and personality account for 59% of high levels of somatic complaints in children and 69% in adults. In both samples, interaction between low levels of emotional awareness, high levels of negative moods and low levels of positive mood, high levels of neuroticism and low levels of the other personality factors appear to lead to high levels of somatic complaints (children: raw coverage = .18, consistency = .95; adults: raw coverage = .15, consistency = .97). CONCLUSION A similar contribution of emotional and personality components was found to explain somatic complaints in children and adults.

情绪和人格预测因素，会影响儿童和成人的躯体不适。

背景技术人格和情感因素可能导致躯体不适的出现。这项研究的目的是分析情绪意识，情绪和个性对儿童和成人躯体不适的综合贡献。方法参加自我报告的儿童为1,476名儿童（男= 9.90岁，SD = 1.27，女孩的52.10％）和940名成年人（M = 32.30岁，SD = 11.62，女性的64％）。使用模糊定性比较分析（fsQCA）进行分析，该分析技术可以深入分析一系列因果条件如何影响给定结果。结果情绪意识，情绪和人格占儿童高水平躯体主诉的59％，成人占69％。在这两个样本中，低水平的情感意识之间的互动，高水平的消极情绪和低水平的积极情绪，高水平的神经质和低水平的其他人格因素似乎导致高水平的躯体不适（儿童：未成年人覆盖率= .18，一致性= .95；成人：未成年人覆盖率= .15，一致性= .97）。结论发现情绪和性格成分的相似贡献可解释儿童和成人的躯体不适。
