A Study on the Factors Affecting Mood Level and Variability : Focusing on Sasang Constitution and MBTI preference

As a previous study to determine the factors influencing the level and variability of Chiljeong, the influence of Sasang Constitution and MBTI preferences on mood level and variability was examined. Among the 87 students of Korean Medicine attending D University who completed the Sasang Constitutional test and MBTI personality test, a Mood Survey was conducted and 83 of them were selected. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test, ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and nonparametric test in IBM SPSS 22.0 for Windows. The mood level in Sasang Constitutions was highest in Soyang-in and Soeum-in, while Taeeum-in, Taeyang-in, and unclassified showed no differences. There was no difference in mood variability among Sasang Constitutions. The mood level was influenced by the direction of energy of MBTI preferences. There was no difference in mood variability between MBTI preferences. The mood level was influenced by Sasang Constitution and the direction of energy of MBTI preferences, but mood variability was not influenced by them.
