ABSTRACT This study examined the relationship between extraversion, the ability to identify emotions in observed movement and quality of life (QoL), among women with and without fibromyalgia (FM). The sample was 50 adult women. Participants were asked to fill out Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, NEO Five Factor Inventory, Short Form 36 Health Survey, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 and demographic questionnaire, were shown video clips of body movements and were asked to identify the emotion. The results showed that extraversion was positively correlated with the identification of happiness among FM patients and with QoL. A correlation was found between the ability to identify ‘happiness’ and ahigher perceived QoL. FM patients who showed ahigher level of extraversion identified happiness better than those who were not found to be extraverted. It can be assumed that expression of emotion using dance/movement therapy, which activates mirror neurons, will increase empathic abilities. Results led to the building of a therapeutic intervention model based on the practical implications of the findings.

女性纤维肌痛的外向性可预示更好的预后：舞蹈运动疗法的干预模型

摘要这项研究研究了有和没有纤维肌痛（FM）的女性的外向性，在观察到的运动中识别情绪的能力与生活质量（QoL）之间的关系。样本为50名成年女性。要求参与者填写《纤维肌痛影响调查表》，《 NEO五因素调查表》，《 36表健康调查简表》，《多伦多Alexithymia Scale-20》和人口统计学问卷，并向他们展示身体运动的视频片段，并要求他们识别情绪。结果表明，外向性与FM患者的幸福感和QoL呈正相关。发现识别“幸福”的能力与较高的感知生活质量之间存在关联。表现出较高外向性的FM患者比未发现外向性的患者更好地发现了幸福。可以假设，通过激活镜像神经元的舞蹈/运动疗法来表达情感会增加同理能力。结果导致根据发现的实际意义建立治疗干预模型。
