Orofacial clefts are the most common congenital anomaly of the face, and they significantly affect appearance. The combined effects of demographics, psychology, neurophysiology, and cleft characteristics to explain satisfaction with appearance in young people with a cleft have not yet been comprehensively studied in an interdisciplinary manner. We found that interpersonal difficulties, age, and conscientiousness were significant explanatory factors for satisfaction with appearance (t = -3.022, = 0.006; t = -3.563, = 0.016; t = 4.161, = 0.003); the model explained 50% of variance in satisfaction with appearance (R = 0.504, F = 4.05, = 0.00117). Furthermore, frontal alpha asymmetry was complexly intertwined with other variables, affecting the overall accuracy of the model, but explaining only 10.5% of variance in satisfaction with appearance when used as a factor alone. The results show that an interdisciplinary approach can substantially expand our understanding of the factors influencing self-perception in young people with orofacial clefts.
口腔颌面裂是最常见的面部先天性畸形，严重影响外观。人口统计学、心理学、神经生理学和腭裂特征等因素对腭裂青年外观满意度的综合影响尚未得到跨学科的全面研究。我们发现，人际交往困难、年龄和尽责性是外观满意度的重要解释因素（t = -3.022，P = 0.006；t = -3.563，P = 0.016；t = 4.161，P = 0.003）；该模型解释了外观满意度50%的方差（R² = 0.504，F = 4.05，P = 0.00117）。此外，额叶α波不对称与其他变量复杂地交织在一起，影响了模型的整体准确性，但单独作为一个因素时，仅解释了外观满意度10.5%的方差。结果表明，跨学科方法可以极大地扩展我们对影响口腔颌面裂青年自我认知因素的理解。
