Hautwiderstandsmessungen an Konstitutionellen Grund-Und Entwicklungsvarianten Der Pubertät

According to the concepts of Kretschmer there are nine constitutional types during puberty-these are: ALTERSENTSPRECHENDE, ACCELERIERTESYNCHRON, RETARDIERTE-SYNCHRON, RETARDIERTE-ASYNCHRON, SYNCHRONE, ASYNCHRONE, ALLEGEMEINEVEGETATIVE, STIGMEN, ENDOKRINE-STIGMEN and ASTHENIKER. The main problem with Kretschmer's classification involves the secondary sexual characteristics of the nine types. One aspect of this is skin resistance. The author classified more than two hundred subjects according to Kretschmer's system. Only males between the ages of thirteen and eighteen were studied. Steinwachs's apparatus was used to measure skin resistance. The main finding was that those subjects who showed atypical characteristics tended also to have unstable skin resistance levels
