A behavioral observation system, which consists of a series of objectively described behavior categories and an apparatus for recording the duration and frequency of ongoing behaviors in each category, was used to study the behavior on the ward of 21 long-term and 21 short-term matched hospitalized schizophrenics. Results of the study supported the major hypothesis that long-term hospitalized schizophrenics show more withdrawn and inappropriate behaviors and fewer social and appropriate behaviors than short-term hospitalized schizophrenics. Among the short-term patients, those hospitalized from four months to one year showed the most adaptive behaviors and the fewest inappropriate behaviors.
一种行为观察系统被用于研究21名长期住院和21名短期住院的匹配精神分裂症患者在病房中的行为。该系统由一系列客观描述的行为类别以及用于记录每个类别中正在进行的行为的持续时间和频率的设备组成。研究结果支持了主要假设，即与短期住院的精神分裂症患者相比，长期住院的精神分裂症患者表现出更多的退缩和不适当行为，以及更少的社交和适当行为。在短期患者中，住院四至一年的患者表现出最具适应性的行为和最少的不适当行为。
