    Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica·1978

    This study replicated earlier findings on communication differences in parents of children with schizophrenia. It found that communication patterns also varied significantly based on rural versus urban upbringing, questioning the definition of "normal communication".

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychopathology
    • Communication Studies

    Background:

    • Subtle communication differences were previously observed in parental couples with and without schizophrenic offspring.
    • Earlier research recruited couples from a large city (Oslo).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To replicate a previous study on communication efficiency in parental couples.
    • To investigate the influence of rural versus urban background on communication patterns.
    • To discuss methodological challenges in psychopathology communication studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Replication of the Sølvberg & Blakar (1975) study methodology.
    • Recruitment of parental couples from a rural district.
    • Analysis of communication efficiency across different situations.

    Main Results:

    • The main findings of the original study were reproduced.
    • The communication analysis method was sensitive to the normality-schizophrenia variable.
    • The method also revealed significant cultural variations related to rural-urban background.

    Conclusions:

    • The study's methodology is sensitive to both psychopathology and cultural variations (rural-urban).
    • The implicit model of "normal communication" used in such studies is questioned.
    • Methodological considerations are crucial for communication-oriented psychopathology research.
