title: [Occupational stress experience and personality development in middle age].
abstract: The relationship between performance and other personality characters was investigated with regard to the vocational stress experienced by neuropsychiatric patients and normal control subjects of the same age and educational standards. Emotional lability is of outstanding importance in connection with the experience of vocational stress. In neuropsychiatric patients, concentration and memory, both of which are often assumed to deteriorate with increasing age, depend not on age but rather on the degree of depressive disturbances, inhibitions and other personality characters.
