METHODS: This study involved 243 participants (170 healthy controls and 73 patients with MS). All the participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Mentalization Scale (MentS).
RESULTS: While it was discovered that MentS scores for the dimension of others-based mentalization (MentS-O) were statistically lower in MS group, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the dimensions of motivation to mentalize (MentS-M) and self-based mentalization (MentS-S) scores.
CONCLUSIONS: We may conclude that MS patients have trouble comprehending other people\'s thoughts. This effect can be one of the causes of MS patients\' issues with social cognition.
方法:本研究涉及243名参与者(170名健康对照和73名MS患者)。所有参与者都完成了社会人口统计学问卷和心理量表(MentS)。
结果:虽然发现MS组中基于他人的心理化(MentS-O)维度的MentS得分在统计学上较低,在动机心理化(MentS-M)和自我心理化(MentS-S)得分方面,组间无统计学显著差异.
结论:我们可以得出结论,MS患者难以理解他人的想法。这种效应可能是MS患者社会认知问题的原因之一。
