Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The interactional model for schizophrenia suggests that vulnerability, stressors, and risk factors interact with each other to increase the risk of experiencing symptoms and relapse. People with schizophrenia have a greater potential for vulnerability to stress, and stressors and risk factors can enhance and potentiate each other in people with schizophrenia. Additionally, research has shown that people with schizophrenia are more likely to relapse if they are from families demonstrating high expressed emotion (EE). Option D and E are incorrect as they suggest that people with schizophrenia are less sensitive to interpersonal and environmental stressors, respectively, which is not supported by the interactional model.
