hi everyone today I'll be studying Rosen hen 1973 study which is a part of the unit for Clinical Psychology at Excel syllabus also it has everything you need to know for your exam however it depends on your exam board so before we start the video I would recommend using headphones to watch this video for better sound quality okay so let's start 1973 his aim was to investigate whether sane individuals can be distinguished from the insane procedure it was a field experiment using independent groups designed the independent variable was schizophrenic symptoms displayed by sudo patients dependent variable was diagnostic label assigned part participant observation sample was eight saying volunteer three women in five men hospitals 12 psychiatric psychiatric institions across five US states spring in quality Pudo patients faked auditory hallucinations claiming that they feel empty thud or Hollow false name and job were given but personal histories were truthful all but one were diagnosed with schizophrenia when with manic depression once admitted they stopped faking symptoms and behave normally since their job or role was to observe how the staff or the institutions treated their other patients given medication which they did not take but disposed of secretly and it turned out that the other patients did the same thing findings where none of these sudo patients were detected by Hospital staff Hospital hospitalization lasted between 7 to 15 2 days average 19 days 35 of 118 actual patients suspected to patients were faking normal behaviors were misinterpreted as signs of mental illness no taking was labeled as writing Behavior walking in Corridor seen as nervousness waiting for lunch early interpretated as an oral ACC accusative syndrome medication was rarely mentioned however the two patients receive 2,00 pills minimal interaction with staff nurses spend 90% of the time in offices average time spent with staff less than 7 minutes per day when C patient sorry what's this okay um okay 70% of the time it ignored 23 person received eye contact two person receive verbal responses powerlessness and depersonalization were common due to lack of Rights privacy and engagement in activities verbal and physical mistreatment from staff was reported okay here's theal here are evaluation so here's Trend standardized procedure which which indicates higher reliability all eight sudo patients received identical training to behave the same way they reported the same systems generalizability and reliability findings are generalizable since the hospital VAR in size type and location 12 hospitals across five states public private old and new not limited to one area or type of Institution reliability confirmed consistent findings across multiple hospitals weaknesses vality issues lack of validity because hallucinations are a classic symptom of schizophrenia making mix diagnosis unsurprising in study 2 when hospitals were worned they overcome wrongly suspected real patients as fake okay and then context influences perception stuff expected schizophrenia so they interpretated behaviors accordingly ethical issues deception potential harm deception because the hospitals were unaware of the study potential harm because pseudo patients occupied space that could have gone to real patients counter argument P patients did not Des disrupt care as the study found patients receive minimal attention however there were supporting and contradicted studies as well Lawrence sther 2004 from opening Skinner box visited nine emergency rooms claiming to hear voices like Rosen H study diagnosed with depression with psychosis and prescribed anti-depressants supports Rosen hen misdiagnosis still occurred decades later however this is where you write about Spitzer adult 200 five scent letters case details of 431 psychiatrist for diagnosis 73 responses where 86 person ruled out psychotic behavior not but non prescribed anti-depressants anti-depressants cont rosenhan or get that his study exaggerated flaws and psychiatric diagnosis here is the conclusion context influences diagnosis one lab schizophrenics behaviors were interpretated accordingly schizoph lab persist diagnostic processes unreliable stigma psychiatric labels can create a self-fulfilling prophecy which means that if you you think that you are schizophrenic or if other people label you as a schizophrenic or a mental little person you start to think that that you must be schizophrenic or you must be mentally ill making the prophecy come true which is why it's called self-fulfilling prophecy okay so that would be all and I hope this video was helpful and if it was make sure to comment and if you have any questions feel free to ask me and don't forget to like share and subscribe thanks
