Expressed emotion (EE) is an established psychosocial predictor of relapse in patients with schizophrenia and mood disorders; however, nothing is currently known about the personality characteristics of high- and low-EE relatives. A total of 45 relatives of schizophrenia patients completed the California Psychological Inventory, a widely used measure of common personality traits. Compared with low-EE relatives, high-EE relatives were more conventional in their behavior (higher norm-favoring) and less satisfied with themselves and their lives (lower self-realization). High-EE relatives were also less flexible, tolerant, and lower in empathy and achievement via independence than were low-EE relatives. Even with statistical control of potential demographic confounds, flexibility remained a significant predictor of EE status.
表达性情绪（EE）是精神分裂症和心境障碍患者复发的一种既定社会心理预测指标；然而，目前对于高EE和低EE亲属的人格特征尚无了解。共有45名精神分裂症患者的亲属完成了加利福尼亚心理调查表，这是一种广泛用于测量常见人格特质的工具。与低EE亲属相比，高EE亲属的行为更传统（更高的规范倾向），对自己和生活的满意度更低（更低的自我实现）。高EE亲属在灵活性、宽容性方面也较低，在共情和通过独立取得成就方面比低EE亲属更低。即使对潜在的人口统计学混杂因素进行统计控制后，灵活性仍然是EE状态的一个重要预测指标。
