“…This scale corresponds most closely to what other researchers (e.g. Glish et al, 1982;Watt, 1978) have termed "emotional instability" in children at risk for schizophrenia. For more details about the use of the CBCL in this study, including reliability of ratings, see Walker et al, (1989).…”

“…offspring of schizophrenic parents). These children show higher levels of aggressive behavior, social withdrawal and emotional instability (Glish, Erlenmeyer-Kimling & Watt, 1982;John, Mednick & Schulsinger, 1982; when compared with normal controls. Similar behavior problems have been reported in children from maltreating families (Camras, Grow & Ribordy, 1983;Dodge, Bates & Pettit, 1990;Perry, Doran & Wells, 1983;Widom, 1989) and children with depressed mothers (Lee & Godib, 1991).…”

“…In studying children at risk for schizophrenia, some have investigated the behavior of these children over time and there is reason to believe that this may be a critical factor. Followback (Watt, 1978) and high-risk (Glish, Erlenmeyer-Kimling & Watt, 1982) research have indicated that behavioral abnormalities in preschizophrenic children become more pronounced with increasing age.…”

Previous studies have generally found that children at risk for psychopathology (i.e. children characterized by risk factors such as parental psychopathology and maltreatment) display more deviant behavior and cognitive dysfunctions than children not at risk. The present study examined the relationship between behavioral deviance and cognition in children characterized by a variety of risk factors (parental schizophrenia, parental psychiatric disorders other than schizophrenia, parental maltreatment). The results indicated that the effects of parental schizophrenia could be distinguished from the more generalized effects of maltreatment and that cognitive deficits were associated with schizoid behavior in children at risk for schizophrenia. These findings suggest that cognitive ability may serve as a moderator of vulnerability to maladjustment in children at risk for schizophrenia.
