| Abstract: | Reports an error in the original article by David Rosenthal (Psychological Bulletin, 1962, 59[4], 401-421). The column headings Male and Female should be reversed in Table 1, page 403. (The following abstract of this article originally appeared in record 1963-07079-001.) The literature regarding concordance rates with respect to schizophrenia among relatives of both sexes is reviewed. These rates are generally found to be higher for female than male pairs and higher for same-sexed than opposite-sexed pairs of relatives in primary family groups, but not among collateral relatives. The possible role of sampling errors, genetic contributions, and psychological factors in generating such sex-concordance ratios is examined.
