TY - JOUR PY - 1950// TI - The Behavior of Parents of Schizophrenic, Neurotic, and Normal Children JO - American journal of sociology A1 - McKeown, James Edward SP - 175 EP - 179 VL - 56 IS - 2 N2 - Statistically significant differences appear among the parents of selected groups of schizophrenics, behavior problems, and normals. Among the schizophrenics, the parents of the same sex show heavy incidence of demanding antagonistic behavior. Among the behavior problems, both parents show a similar heavy incidence of the same type of behavior. Among the parents of the normals, encouraging behavior predominates. Encouraging behavior is rare among parents of the schizophrenics and the behavior problems, and demanding-antagonistic behavior is rare among the normals. The samples used in this study conformed rigorously to thirteen criteria of selection.
