Abstract

In preventive occupational industrial medicine problems relevant to psycho-social factors always interfere in medical investigation by showing up as a not clearly organic symptomatology but as a phenomenon of somatization of anxiety or as working and social setting unfitness. CBA-2.0 Primary Scale Battery, a specific questionnaire for the investigation of some considerable clinical important traits, was administered to 414 white collar in order to facilitate a better discrimination between psychological and biological factors. Results show some areas (smoking habits, hurried eating, sedentary, Type A, conflicting social relationship on working setting) which are to be investigated thoroughly by both clinic and industrial psychologists for better defining distress causes in working organization and social environment.
