In a sample of 35 family members of patients with recent-onset schizophrenia, attributions of control and the content of critical comments were compared for 2 relatives of the same household who held discrepant expressed emotion (EE) attitudes (1 high and 1 low) toward their mentally ill family member. Attributions and the content of critical comments were also compared for low-EE relatives from low-EE homes versus low-EE relatives from high-EE homes. Our results indicate that high-EE relatives tend to attribute more control over behavior to patients than do low-EE relatives of the same patient. In addition, low-EE relatives from high-EE homes attribute more behavioral control to patients than do low-EE relatives from low-EE homes. These findings suggest that EE status is linked to attributions of control over behaviors, but additional patient factors or influences among family members may also affect EE attitudes.
在一个由近期发病的精神分裂症患者的35名家庭成员组成的样本中，对同一家庭中两名对患有精神疾病的家庭成员持有不同情感表达（EE）态度（1名高EE和1名低EE）的亲属，比较了他们对行为控制的归因和批评性评论的内容。还比较了来自低EE家庭的低EE亲属与来自高EE家庭的低EE亲属的归因和批评性评论内容。我们的结果表明，与同一患者的低EE亲属相比，高EE亲属倾向于将更多的行为控制权归因于患者。此外，来自高EE家庭的低EE亲属比来自低EE家庭的低EE亲属将更多的行为控制权归因于患者。这些发现表明，EE状态与对行为控制的归因有关，但其他患者因素或家庭成员之间的影响也可能影响EE态度。
