To determine whether DSM-III dependent personality disorder (PD) differed in males and females, 30 females and 11 males with this diagnosis were selected from a psychiatric outpatient population. Standardized measures of Axis I, Axis II, and family history were used. There were no differences in age or in the prevalence of Axis I or Axis II disorders in males and females, indicating that females were probably not misdiagnosed as having dependent PD. However, relatives of males had significantly more major depressive disorder and DSM-III anxious personality disorder cluster, while relatives of females had significantly more panic disorder. This may indicate different predisposing factors to dependent PD in males and females.
为了确定《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM - III）中的依赖型人格障碍（PD）在男性和女性中是否存在差异，从精神科门诊患者中选取了30名患有该诊断的女性和11名男性。使用了轴I、轴II及家族史的标准化测量方法。男性和女性在年龄、轴I或轴II障碍的患病率方面没有差异，这表明女性可能没有被误诊为患有依赖型人格障碍。然而，男性的亲属患重度抑郁症和DSM - III焦虑型人格障碍集群的比例显著更高，而女性的亲属患惊恐障碍的比例显著更高。这可能表明男性和女性患依赖型人格障碍的易感因素不同。
