To examine the effects of the sex of psychiatrically disturbed parent on the offspring, we compared children of a schizophrenic parent, a psychiatrically disturbed but not schizophrenic parent, and a normal parent using behavioral, attentional, and neurological indices. Results of a discriminant analysis indicate that children of psychiatrically disturbed mothers have an increased sensitivity to tactile stimulation, possibly reflecting more labile autonomic nervous system functioning. In addition, children with a schizophrenic parent of either sex show evidence of neurological motor dysfunction.
为了研究患有精神疾病的父母的性别对其后代的影响，我们使用行为、注意力和神经学指标，比较了精神分裂症患者父母、患有精神疾病但非精神分裂症患者父母以及正常父母的子女。判别分析结果表明，患有精神疾病的母亲的子女对触觉刺激的敏感度增加，这可能反映出自主神经系统功能更不稳定。此外，父母一方患有精神分裂症的子女无论性别，均表现出神经运动功能障碍的迹象。
