Cognitive behavioral therapy on personality characteristics of cancer patients

Table 4 Self-comparison of the personality characteristics in experimental group 2 (mean ± SD)

	Experimental group 2		t	P value
	Before intervention (n = 41)	After intervention (n = 41)
P	73.66 ± 9.29	38.12 ± 28.27	7.65	0.00
E	56.83 ± 6.78	31.85 ± 22.34	6.85	0.00
N	53.54 ± 7.72	27.17 ± 20.52	7.72	0.00
L	40.00 ± 9.29	23.51 ± 13.82	6.34	0.00

The analysis showed that the four personality factors in experimental group 2 after the intervention 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.
