Table 2 Self-comparison of the personality characteristics in the control group (mean ± SD)

	Control group		t	P value
	Before intervention (n = 41)	After intervention (n = 41)
P	72.34 ± 10.13	35.51 ± 29.07	7.66	0.00
E	55.85 ± 9.94	28.39 ± 31.16	7.93	0.00
N	52.07 ± 7.66	28.15 ± 20.62	6.97	0.00
L	42.20 ± 10.37	22.24 ± 15.48	6.86	0.00

The results showed that the factors of psychoticism, introversion, neuroticism, and degree of validity after intervention in the control group were lower than those before the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). P: Psychoticism; E: Introversion and extroversion; N: Neuroticism (Emotional); L: Degree of validity.
