VIEW DETAILS
Our conclusion was that the children at familial High Risk for Schizophrenia were more likely to be bullied. We could not confirm the hypothesis that these children were more likely to perceive ambiguous situations as hostile. The higher rates of bullying amongst these children were confirmed by themselves, their caregiver and teacher. Good reasons to take care of these children.
