Mechanism differences between typical yin and typical yang personality individuals assessed by Five-Pattern Personality Inventory (FPPI): Evidence from resting-state brain functional networks

摘要

Background: Most studies assessing brain personality mechanisms have used Western personality questionnaires. However, Western personality questionnaires may not objectively reflect the personality characteristics of individuals in Eastern cultures such as China. Hence, we adopted the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the Chinese localized scale, FPPI, to explore the brain mechanisms differences of typical yin and typical yang personalities of individuals in China.
