Communication deviance (CD) is fragmented communication hindering shared meaning. This study found CD reliably measured in family problem-solving, validating a new interactional measure (ICD) for parents of schizophrenic offspring.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Family Psychology
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Communication deviance (CD) is linked to schizophrenia in offspring.
  • Previous CD measures relied on parental projective tests (TAT, Rorschach).
  • Limited research exists on CD in non-projective family interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the reliability and construct validity of an interactional measure of CD (ICD).
  • To assess CD during a family problem-solving task, not projective stimuli.
  • To compare ICD with traditional CD measures from parental TAT protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Measured interactional communication deviance (ICD) in 59 parents of 37 recent-onset schizophrenic patients.
  • Utilized a family problem-solving task to elicit interactional data.

  • Compared ICD scores with CD scores from Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Communication deviance (CD) was reliably measured in an interactive family setting.
    • The interactional measure (ICD) showed evidence of construct validity.
    • ICD correlated with traditional measures of CD from parental TAT.

    Conclusions:

    • An interactional measure of communication deviance (ICD) is reliable and valid.
    • CD can be effectively assessed during non-projective family interactions.
    • ICD offers a valuable tool for studying family communication in schizophrenia.
