Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Family dynamics, such as levels of expressed emotion and the involvement of family members in the care of the individual with schizophrenia, vary greatly across cultures. In some cultures, family members may be highly involved in care and support of the individual, which can have a protective effect on their mental health. In other cultures, there may be high levels of criticism or conflict within the family, which can exacerbate symptoms of schizophrenia. Mental stereotypes, behavioural stereotypes, and adult temperament may also vary across cultures, but there is not as much research supporting their direct impact on schizophrenia.
