The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sex and mental illness. A sample of male and female adult psychiatric outpatients (n = 44) completed the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire (DCMHQ), the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, an abbreviated version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (the Mini-Mult), and the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. Differences in life event experiences, as well as differences on measures of anxiety, depression, psychological distress, and social functioning, were explored and identified by means of Pearson product-moment correlations. The strongest correlations were found between sex and four of the subscales of the DCMHQ: women tended to be less productive and evidenced more psychological distress than men; men had more legal difficulties and were more likely to use soft drugs. A modest correlation was found on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, with women showing higher scores.
本研究的目的是调查性别与精神疾病之间的关系。一组成年男性和女性精神科门诊患者（n = 44）完成了丹佛社区心理健康问卷（DCMHQ）、泰勒显性焦虑量表、明尼苏达多相人格调查表简版（迷你多项量表）和社会再适应评定量表。通过皮尔逊积差相关分析探讨并确定了生活事件经历的差异以及焦虑、抑郁、心理困扰和社会功能测量指标的差异。在性别与DCMHQ的四个分量表之间发现了最强的相关性：女性往往生产力较低，且比男性表现出更多的心理困扰；男性有更多法律问题，且更有可能使用软性毒品。在泰勒显性焦虑量表上发现了适度的相关性，女性得分更高。
