    Communication deviance (CD) in adolescents significantly increased by adulthood for both males and females. Low CD in adulthood predicted no psychiatric disturbance over 15 years, especially in females.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Communication Studies

    Background:

    • Communication deviance (CD) is a measure of thought disorder.
    • Longitudinal studies on CD development are crucial for understanding mental health trajectories.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the developmental trajectory of communication deviance (CD) from adolescence to adulthood.
    • To investigate the relationship between CD patterns and long-term psychiatric outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) was used to measure communication deviance (CD).
    • A sample of nonpsychotically disturbed adolescents was followed for 15 years.
    • CD measures were re-assessed in adulthood.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Total communication deviance (CD) significantly increased from adolescence to adulthood in both sexes.
    • The proportion of specific CD types in speech remained stable over time, particularly for females.
    • Low adult CD levels were associated with the absence of psychiatric disturbance during the follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Communication deviance (CD) increases with age, suggesting developmental changes in thought processes.
    • Stable CD patterns, especially in females, may indicate enduring characteristics.
    • Adult communication deviance (CD) is a potential indicator of future mental health and psychiatric stability.
