The LEAS correlated positively with openness to experience and emotional range but not with measures of specific emotions, repression or the number of words used in the LEAS responses, suggesting that it is the level of emotion, not the specific quality of emotions, that is tapped by the LE AS.

- 1 May 1996
The results suggest that alexithymia is associated with impaired verbal and nonverbal recognition of emotion stimuli and that the hallmark of alexithsymia, a difficulty in putting emotion into words, may be a marker of a more general impairment in the capacity for emotion information processing.
