This study examined the relationship between patient's gender and family environment, and the consequences of this for the course of treatment of schizophrenia. Data for 160 DSM-III schizophrenics and a family member were obtained regarding attitudes towards treatment, tolerance of symptomatic deviance, and one-year rehospitalization and lengths of hospital stay. Findings suggest that ill sons may be sent to hospital more often and remain in hospital longer than ill daughters, in part due to social norms and expectations of parents associated with gender.
本研究考察了患者性别与家庭环境之间的关系，以及这对精神分裂症治疗过程的影响。收集了160名符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III）标准的精神分裂症患者及其一名家庭成员关于治疗态度、对症状偏差的容忍度、一年再住院情况及住院时长的数据。研究结果表明，患病儿子可能比患病女儿更常被送进医院且住院时间更长，部分原因是与性别相关的社会规范及父母的期望。
