本研究以41名精神分裂症患者的拉丁裔/西班牙裔和白色家庭成员为样本，探讨了种族、情感表达（EE）和相互依赖性之间的关系。使用坎伯韦尔家庭访谈（CFI）和五分钟语音样本（FMSS）评估EE。这些措施被认为是高度一致的评级EE。然而，CH似乎更经常识别高EE比FMSS。白人被指定为高EE显着更经常比拉丁美洲人/西班牙裔，无论评估方法。使用相互依存分量表的自我意识量表，我们发现一个强烈的趋势，拉丁美洲/西班牙裔报告一个更相互依存的自我意识比白人。然而，与预期相反的是，相互依存并没有被发现调解种族和EE之间的关系。EE和相互依存可能都发挥了作用，从传统文化的患者观察到更好的病程。然而，这两种结构可能通过不同的机制与患者功能相关。(C)2006爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
This study examined associations among ethnicity, expressed emotion (EE) and interdependence in a sample of 41 Latino/Hispanic and White family members of patients with schizophrenia. EE was assessed using both the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI) and the Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS). These measures were found to be highly concordant for rating EE. However, the CH appears to identify high EE more often than does the FMSS. Whites were designated as high EE significantly more often than were Latinos/Hispanics, regardless of assessment method. Using the interdependence subscale of the Self-Construal Scale, we found a strong trend for Latino/Hispanics to report a more interdependent self-construal than did Whites. However, contrary to expectations, interdependence was not found to mediate the relationship between ethnicity and EE. EE and interdependence may both play a role in the better course of illness observed for patients from traditional cultures. However, these two constructs may relate to patient functioning through different mechanisms. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
