- Interactionist Approach
- Evaluation
- Stressors may occur earlier in life and may only trigger the condition later in life
- Urban life may not be more stressful as there are contradictory studies
- There is Beta bias with culture in Tienari's study as he only looked at Finnish children
- Bio may not just be genetics it may be due to birth complications or brain injury
- Also in Tienari's study the scale is only done once so a family's situation may change
- It can explain why the concordance rate for MZ twins is not 100%
- Diathesis-Stress Model
- High levels of urbanisation could be a stressor for somepeople
- This takes into account both bio and enviro factors
- By this model a combination of CBTp and drug therapy would be the best for the P
- Stress - An environmental factor that could trigger the condition
- A P can have a high or low vulnerability and a high or low stressor which combine
- Diathesis - A predisposition to developing a condition
- Tienari et al. (2004)
- All were assessed after 12 and 21 years and assessed family functioning
- Of the 303 adoptees, 14 developed sz and 11 of them were from the high risk group
- He found 145 children from sz parents and compared them to a control group of 158 other adoptees
- The adoptees from high risk and in low OPAS were less likely to develop sz
- He studied the children of sz women from a Finnish psychiatric hospital
- This shows that sz is partly genetic and people have stressors
