Studies from several countries have reported that fewer people with epilepsy marry, but the reasons for this are not clear. In the present investigation, 178 adults with epilepsy were divided into married, separated/divorced, and never married groups. The never married group was subdivided into persons living in dependent versus independent settings. The groups did not differ with respect to seizure type, age at onset of seizures, and related variables. All were administered a complete battery of neuropsychological tests and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. On all tests of abilities, the married and the never married independent groups had the best scores, the separated/divorced group was intermediate, and the never married dependent group had by far the lowest scores. In the emotional area, however, the separated/divorced group had the poorest scores and the other groups were indistinguishable from each other. It appears that marital status is more related to emotional adjustment than to mental abilities, and that independent living skills are more related to mental abilities than to emotional adjustment.
来自几个国家的研究报告称，癫痫患者结婚的人数较少，但原因尚不清楚。在本次调查中，178名成年癫痫患者被分为已婚、分居/离婚和未婚组。未婚组又细分为生活在依赖环境与独立环境中的人群。这些组在癫痫发作类型、癫痫发作起始年龄及相关变量方面没有差异。所有患者都接受了一整套神经心理学测试和明尼苏达多相人格调查表。在所有能力测试中，已婚和未婚独立组得分最高，分居/离婚组居中，未婚依赖组得分最低。然而，在情感方面，分居/离婚组得分最差，其他组之间没有差异。看来婚姻状况与情绪调节的关系比与心理能力的关系更大，而独立生活技能与心理能力的关系比与情绪调节的关系更大。
