Abstract
It may be regarded as an established fact that the incidence of mental disorder is much higher in the single than in the married. In a previous paper two possible explanations were discussed: 1. There is a selection by marriage, whereby individuals who are personally and socially handicapped tend to remain single. Among such possible marriage handicaps there are certain personality traits which correlate markedly with a predisposition towards certain forms of mental disease, in particular schizophrenia.
