Reviewed the literature on birth seasonality among schizophrenics and reported data on highly significant differences between the quarterly birth patterns of black and white schizophrenics (N = 724). The findings strongly indicate that specific subgroups of schizophrenics are especially likely to be winter-borns. Log-linear analyses uncovered a highly significant difference between the birth seasons of black and white patients. Black schizophrenics are especially likely to be winter-borns, while white schizophrenics had a birth peak in the fall. We speculate about the causes of this race-specific finding from a perspective that is sociological and neurophysiological.
回顾了关于精神分裂症患者出生季节性的文献，并报告了黑人和白人精神分裂症患者季度出生模式之间存在高度显著差异的数据（N = 724）。研究结果有力地表明，特定亚组的精神分裂症患者尤其可能在冬季出生。对数线性分析发现黑人和白人患者的出生季节存在高度显著差异。黑人精神分裂症患者尤其可能在冬季出生，而白人精神分裂症患者的出生高峰在秋季。我们从社会学和神经生理学的角度推测了这一特定种族发现的原因。
