Aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract has been related to psychological factors. Aim of this study is to study the differences of personality factors between IBS patients compared to our general population. Methods: This study was performed in clinics of Tabriz Medical University during 2006-2007. IBS was diagnosed using the Rome II diagnostic criteria after exclusion of organic bowel pathology. The entry of each patient was confi rmed following a psychiatric interview and after any comorbid psychiatry disorder was ruled out. Personality traits and score of each factor was evaluated using NEO fi ve factor personality inventory compared to results of a previous study on general population of Iran. Results: One hundred and sixty six patients were studied. The mean age (±SD) of them was 33.6(±11.4) years (60.8% female). Our study population had their symptoms for a mean interval of 47.3 month. The bowel problems were provoked by distress in more than 80% of patients. Pain in female patients was reported to be more frequent but both gender described the association between stressors and their symptoms. NEO Five-Factor Inventory showed a signifi cantly higher level of neuroticism and conscientiousness and lower level of openness and agreeableness in theses nonpsychiatric IBS patients. Women with IBS had signifi cantly higher levels of openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion compared to men. Conclusion: Differences were observed between IBS patients and general population. Patients with IBS may benefi t from psychological interventions.

“…Because theta activity decreases with age, the interpretation of the authors was that respondents high on O may have retained a somewhat childlike wonderment and open-mindedness about their world with a willingness to explore alternative views about issues. In a recent large scale study Tran and colleagues (Tran et al, 2006), found only mild significant correlations in the delta and theta band with E and C, and fewer associations between personality and faster frequency bands.…”

Abstract:The aim of the present paper is to answer the question: Has neuropsychology anything to say about teaching for creativity? The complexities involved in creativity suggest that there is probably no single teaching approach for its development. Creativity research has most often focused on the creative personality and on ability components, like the creative process, problem formulation and solving, the relation between intelligence and creativity. The review therefore first provides a "neuro" perspective of psychological constructs. Next the possibility of improving ability with training and neurofeedback is discussed. Finally, some suggestions for further research and implication on teaching for creativity are provided.
