The quality and quantity of interpersonal relations were investigated by a special questionnaire to discover the connexion of psychonervous disorders with the contact behaviour. The psychonervous disorder was measured by a screening method, which examines the neurotic status. 361 patients of an urban population were asked by the questionnaire. 309 questionnaires of the probably neurotic patients and non neurotic patients were analyzed with respect to the differences between the two groups patients. Probably neurotic patients felt more stressed. They are more directed to the family members. The contact behaviour of the probably neurotic patients is more restrained in profession and also in free time than the behaviour of the non neurotic patients. The fewer agreement between reality and desire of the contact behaviour is typical for the probably neurotic patients. The intention of the conclusions was to help them to develop a feeling of interpersonal contentment.
