説明

Alexithymia is a deficit in the ability to identify and describe emotions and a preoccupation with externally oriented thinking. Individuals with a high degree of alexithymia can exhibit a limited ability to reflect on and regulate their emotions and to verbally communicate emotional distress to other people. Kojima et al. reported a positive relationship between alexithymia and reduced social support among Japanese workers. They suggested that alexithymic workers might be unable to benefit from social support because of their cognitive deficits of emotion. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between psychological job characteristics and alexithymia. The present study aimed to explore the relationship between psychological job characteristics and alexithymic traits in a group of Korean white-collar workers.
