One of the criteria for a diagnosis of schizotypal personality disorder is that the person's odd or eccentric thoughts cannot be attributed to cultural beliefs or norms. This is because cultural beliefs and practices may vary widely and what may seem odd or eccentric in one culture may not be so in another. The other options are incorrect. The estimated prevalence of schizotypal personality disorder varies depending on the study, but it is generally thought to be less than 5 percent of the population. Males are more commonly diagnosed with the disorder than females. Finally, while there are some differences in the rates of diagnosis of schizophrenia and related disorders across ethnic groups, there is no evidence to suggest that Whites are diagnosed more often with these disorders than other groups.
