| Abstrakt: |
Psychological characteristics were studied in 85 healthy men with early-stage alopecia androgenetica who participated in a double-blind clinical trial on the effect of minoxidil. No evidence of psychosocial malfunctioning was found in the group suffering from hair loss as indicated by personality traits, general psychological adjustment and social functioning. These subjects were less rigid and more-self-confident than corn parable norm groups. However, specific Problems attributed to hair loss were present in more than 30%, More psychological improvement, with regard to hair Problems, social discomfort, and self-esteem occurred in the minoxidil group than in the placebo group. The findings are exploratory, because the pretest data were obtained in retrospect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
