AN ADOPTION STUDY: THE GENETIC CAUSE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

The key idea was to find out if schizophrenia was a genetic based by comparing how common diagnosis between biological and adoptive family. The controlled variable in this experiment was that none of the families have a history of mental illness; this was to stop any possible anomalies to make it more accurate. Because the adoption and schizophrenia are a natural variable means the experiment is natural meaning they wouldn’t have to change many variables which helps it be more accurate study.

If schizophrenia has a genetic component that even bringing up a child into a adoptive family might not prevent a child with a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia becoming ill in later life. However the diathesis- stress made suggests it requires a trigger. If families are aware that the child has a genetic link to schizophrenia they can make sure that the child keeps away from and stressful events and watch out for symptoms. As with most mental illnesses schizophrenia is less destructive if diagnosed early on. ]]> 2019-11-27 10:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bridiechatfield1/lzi2dgl1uwgn/wish/417084086 How it was carried out https://padlet.com/bridiechatfield1/lzi2dgl1uwgn/wish/417084949 He measured the mental illness among the family to see if it was more present. As the genetic illness would tell you your likely hood between the two families.

In the Danish Adaption there was orphans between the ages of 20-43 were taken form a sample of 503. 

B1 was a group of 16 patients with chronic schizophrenia 

B2 was a group of 7 with acute schizophrenia

B3 was a group of 11 with borderline schizophrenia or latent schizophrenia
