Psychologic characteristics were studied in a sample of 168 men with alopecia androgenetica who participated in a clinical trial on the efficacy of minoxidil gel. In general, no evidence of psychologic malfunctioning was found. Instead, a slightly more adequate psychologic state was indicated. However, specific problems associated with hair loss were reported by a substantial number of men. Responders with cosmetic improvement in the group over 35 years of age improved more regarding general psychologic maladjustment, inadequacy, and self-evaluation than those who did not respond. A reverse trend was, however, found in the group younger than 35 years of age, where the nonresponders improved more. An explanation for these findings is derived from the theory of cognitive dissonance.
对168名患有雄激素性脱发的男性进行了心理特征研究,这些男性参与了一项关于米诺地尔凝胶疗效的临床试验。总体而言,未发现心理功能障碍的证据。相反,表明心理状态略好。然而,相当多的男性报告了与脱发相关的具体问题。35岁以上组中在外观上有改善的应答者在一般心理失调、不适当感和自我评估方面比无应答者改善得更多。然而,在35岁以下组中发现了相反的趋势,即无应答者改善得更多。这些发现的解释源自认知失调理论。
