Abstract:
The current study aimed at investing in the moderating role of duration of epilepsy on the relationship between dysfunctional child modes and hostility. A purposive sample of 108 people with epilepsy with a mean age (M=24.91, SD=7.42) in Pakistan. The respondents completed the Schema Mode Inventory and subscale of Hostility from SCL-90, also the demographic and clinical variables were taken from the semi-structured interview. Findings revealed that duration of epilepsy significantly moderated the relationship between dysfunctional child modes and hostility. The mod graph showed that the hostility increases in the acute stage of epilepsy. Moreover, people with epilepsy from low-socio-economic status significantly utilized the angry, impulsive, enraged, and undisciplined child modes. This study meaningfully highlights the relationship of epilepsy and aggression among the individuals of epilepsy.
