Impact of the severity of psoriatic lesions on general psychometric measures by gender—linear correlation coefficients (with p value in brackets)

QoL measures	Gender (male vs. female)
	Female	Male	Total
	PASI
AIS	− 0.16 (p = 0.2507)	− 0.48 (p = 0.0001***)	− 0.33 (p = 0.0004***)
SWLS	− 0.44 (p = 0.0011**)	− 0.27 (p = 0.0365*)	− 0.35 (p = 0.0002***)
SES	− 0.42 (p = 0.0021**)	− 0.23 (p = 0.0846)	− 0.37 (p = 0.0001***)

PASI Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, SES Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, SWLS Satisfaction With Life Scale, AIS Acceptance of Illness Scale

p ≥ 0.05 the effect is not statistically significant, *p < 0.05 statistically significant relationship, **p < 0.01 highly significant relationship, ***p < 0.001 very highly statistically significant relationship
