Self-distinctiveness scores from the Interpersonal Discrimination Task were obtained on 87 normal and 92 psychiatric patients ranging in age from 16 to 44. As predicted, self-distinctiveness in normals increased from the 2nd to 3rd decade, then declined progressively thereafter. By contrast, patients' self-distinctiveness scores were significantly lower than normals' during the 3rd decade and higher than normals' thereafter. The results were interpreted in terms of patients' tendencies to view themselves as discrepant with age-specific societal expectancies.
对87名年龄在16至44岁之间的正常人和92名精神疾病患者进行了人际歧视任务中的自我独特性评分。正如预测的那样，正常人的自我独特性在20多岁到30多岁时增加，然后逐渐下降。相比之下，患者的自我独特性评分在30多岁时显著低于正常人，此后高于正常人。这些结果是根据患者倾向于认为自己与特定年龄的社会期望存在差异来解释的。
