Abstract
The relationship between the prognostic expectancies of hospitalized schizophrenic patients and several objective measures of hospital outcome was tested. Patients'' expectancies were correlated significantly with 8 of 15 measures of posthospital adjustment and with 14 of 15 measures of prehospital adjustment. The findings supported the expectancy-outcome relationship and also were consistent with a predictive interpretation of patients'' expectancies.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
