The phenomenon of object chaining was investigated to determine its relationship to thought disorder in schizophrenia. Samples from thought-disordered schizophrenics (N = 12) and controls (10 non-thought-disordered schizophrenics and 10 normals) were analysed. Using the object subject ratio (OSR) to measure object chaining, we found higher OSRs in the speech of thought-disordered subjects than in that of subjects free of thought disorder. Object chaining correlated with low predictability of speech. We conclude that object chaining is associated with reduced speech comprehensibility and probably contributes to the judgement that thought disorder is present.
对客体连锁现象进行了研究，以确定其与精神分裂症思维障碍的关系。分析了思维紊乱的精神分裂症患者样本（N = 12）以及对照组（10名无思维紊乱的精神分裂症患者和10名正常人）。使用客体主语比率（OSR）来衡量客体连锁，我们发现思维紊乱受试者言语中的OSR高于无思维紊乱的受试者。客体连锁与言语的低可预测性相关。我们得出结论，客体连锁与言语可理解性降低有关，可能有助于判断是否存在思维障碍。
