It has been suggested that psychosis genes might be associated with beneficial effects, explaining their high frequency in all human populations.
To test the relationship between academic success and the incidence of psychotic disorders.
The unusually complete demographic and scholastic records available in Iceland were used to locate academically accomplished individuals and assess the probability of previously identified patients with mental disorders and their relatives being among such groups.
Close relatives of successful students showed increased risks of psychosis. Individuals who subsequently developed psychosis and relatives of people with psychosis excelled in school performance, particularly in mathematics.
The study supports the hypothesis that stimulation associated with psychotic tendencies enhances performance in academic settings.
有人提出，精神病相关基因可能与有益影响有关，这解释了它们在所有人类群体中的高频率。
检验学业成就与精神障碍发病率之间的关系。
利用冰岛现有的异常完整的人口统计学和学业记录来确定学业有成的个体，并评估先前确诊的精神障碍患者及其亲属属于此类群体的概率。
成功学生的近亲患精神病的风险增加。后来患精神病的个体以及精神病患者的亲属在学业表现上表现出色，尤其是在数学方面。
该研究支持以下假设，即与精神病倾向相关的刺激会提高在学术环境中的表现。
