To ascertain the psychosocial effects of vitiligo, patients with vitiligo were compared with control subjects without skin diseases who were matched for age, sex, race, educational level, and marital status. Vitiligo patients were also compared with a matched sample of psoriasis patients and a matched sample of patients with other pigmentary disorders involving discoloration. The vitiligo patients scored lower on the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory than did the "normal" control subjects. Vitiligo patients exhibited better adjustment to their disorder and experienced less social discrimination than did psoriasis patients, although the two groups did not differ on overall self-esteem. Patients with vitiligo did not differ significantly from those with other pigmentary disorders on any measure.
为了确定白癜风的心理社会影响，将白癜风患者与年龄、性别、种族、教育水平和婚姻状况相匹配的无皮肤疾病对照受试者进行比较。白癜风患者还与匹配的银屑病患者样本以及涉及色素沉着异常的其他色素性疾病患者样本进行比较。白癜风患者在库珀史密斯自尊量表上的得分低于“正常”对照受试者。白癜风患者比银屑病患者对自身疾病的适应更好，遭受的社会歧视更少，尽管两组在总体自尊方面没有差异。白癜风患者与其他色素性疾病患者在任何测量指标上均无显著差异。
