A biocultural perspective on schizophrenic communication in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
Schmidt, Karen Lynne.

A biocultural perspective on schizophrenic communication in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. - 237 p.

Co-Chairs: Vincent M. Sarich; Katharine V. Milton.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 1997.

The idea that there are implicit human standards for successful interaction and communication is reinforced by the fact that everywhere there are people who fail to meet those expectations. I have attempted to show that schizophrenia produces universally recognizable disturbances in verbal and nonverbal communication. Linguistic cohesion was assessed from transcripts of spoken conversations and narratives. Judgments of nonverbal expressivity were obtained from videotaped interviews, viewed without sound by naive evaluators from both New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Subjects included patients with schizophrenia and nonpatient controls from New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

520 $a The idea that there are implicit human standards for successful interaction and communication is reinforced by the fact that everywhere there are people who fail to meet those expectations. I have attempted to show that schizophrenia produces universally recognizable disturbances in verbal and nonverbal communication. Linguistic cohesion was assessed from transcripts of spoken conversations and narratives. Judgments of nonverbal expressivity were obtained from videotaped interviews, viewed without sound by naive evaluators from both New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Subjects included patients with schizophrenia and nonpatient controls from New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
520 $a Analyses of linguistic cohesion and nonverbal expressivity showed that: (1) Cohesion scores (cohesive ties per clause) for patients were not significantly different from those of controls in conversation, within or between countries. In the narrative context, there was a significant difference between New Zealand controls and patients; patients scored lower. (2) There was a significant difference in proportions of different cohesive tie types used in conversation between New Zealand patients and controls. Patients used higher proportions of lexical cohesion. (3) Papua New Guinean patients used roughly the same proportions of lexical and other cohesive ties as New Zealand patients (no significant difference), even though corresponding controls differed. Patient status was associated with increased similarity in cohesive strategy. (4) Patient/control comparisons showed significant differences between the overall levels of nonverbal expressivity within countries. In both populations, subgroups of consistently low scoring patients could be distinguished. Cross-cultural evaluations confirmed the existence of universally recognizable affective flattening in low scoring Papua New Guinean patients. Many low scoring patients also exhibited smooth pursuit eye tracking dysfunction, a biological marker for schizophrenia. (5) Cross-cultural evaluations of nonverbal behavior also revealed overall cultural differences. A New Zealand evaluator gave lower scores overall to Papua New Guineans, both patient and control, than did a Papua New Guinean evaluator. When the New Zealand subjects were divided ethnically into Maori and European groups, another New Zealand evaluator (European New Zealander) assigned Maori controls subjects significantly lower expressivity scores. These cultural differences, however, did not affect the recognition of extremely low expressivity in some patients.
