The term irritable bowel syndrome denotes a variety of colonic function, which occurs mainly at times of life-stress and emotional tension. For the management of irritable bowel syndrome it is of interest, if the basic attitude of the patients is a "forcing" one or an anxious, depressive mood, a "giving up"-behaviour. 50 healthy persons have been compared with 50 persons suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. The basic testprogram was the F.P.I. As result there is a statistically significant difference in the item-pools: nervousness, depression and unstableness of emotions.
