ABSTRACT
This study examined the typology of consumers and correlates of their social functioning using the Social Functioning Scale (SFS). Data were obtained from 244 outpatients of two psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric ward inpatients in two general hospitals through a structured in-person interview. The typology was generated using Cluster Analysis, and the profile of each group was further examined. The results indicated that there were four distinct groups of consumers. Multiple regression analysis revealed that consumers' sex, age, education, diagnosis, behavioral problems, family caregivers' age, employment status, and overall social support were significantly associated with consumers' social functioning. The implications for previous research findings and psychiatric rehabilitation service are discussed.
