Question 15
Question
In Rosenhans study he sent 8 [blank_start]healthy[blank_end] people to make appointments in hospitals using the wors '[blank_start]thud[blank_end]', '[blank_start]hollow[blank_end]' and '[blank_start]empty[blank_end]'. Once admitted they all acted [blank_start]normally[blank_end]. All were diagnosed as schizophrenic despite being healthy. They were treated [blank_start]differently[blank_end] because they were seen as schizophrenia. They all left with a in remission diagnosis. This study shows how people behave differently to 'schizophrenics' and how easily [blank_start]misdiagnosis[blank_end] occurs. Also it shows how the label is hard to get rid of.

Question 16
Question
The biological approach says that there is a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia
Question 17
Question
The twin study by Gottesman and Shields found [blank_start]48[blank_end]% concordance rates for MZ twins and [blank_start]17[blank_end]% for DZ twins. Therefore because the MZ [blank_start]share more[blank_end] DNA the fact that they have higher concordance rates indicates a [blank_start]genetic[blank_end] link. A criticism of this study is that the higher concordance rate in MZs could be due to a very [blank_start]similar[blank_end] environment. Also if schizophrenia is due to genes alone, the concordance rate should be [blank_start]100[blank_end]%.

Question 18
Question
In a adoption study by [blank_start]Heston[blank_end], [blank_start]16[blank_end]% of the children ,from 47 schizophrenic mothers, who had been adopted at birth had schizophrenia. This is much higher than the [blank_start]1[blank_end]% population level. Therefore it seems that schizophrenia is [blank_start]hereditary[blank_end]. This is more conclusive than the twin study by [blank_start]Gottesman and Shields[blank_end] because the children [blank_start]didn't share[blank_end] the same environment with the mother. However this study suffers from a [blank_start]small sample size[blank_end].
Question 19
Question
The neurochemical explanation for schizophrenia suggests that excess dopamine causes exessive neural activity (positive symptoms)
Question 20
Question
There is [blank_start]a lot of[blank_end] evidence for the dopemine hypothesis including; Post [blank_start]mortems[blank_end] showing excess dopemine, [blank_start]Cocaine[blank_end] studies (cocaine causes positive symptoms and heightens dopemine activity), [blank_start]Antipsychotic[blank_end] drugs reduce dopemine and positive symptoms.

Question 23
Question
Expressed emotion belongs to the [blank_start]family dysfunction[blank_end] explanation for schizophrenia. This is a [blank_start]qualitative[blank_end] of the amount of emotion displayed within a family. HIgh expressed emotion means there are high levels of [blank_start]hostility[blank_end], [blank_start]disapproval[blank_end] and [blank_start]criticism[blank_end]. Often family members who act like this think they are being helpful.
