5. Limitations and strength
The present study has some limitations. First, because this study was cross-sectional design, we were unable to determine the rate of Ultra high-risk individuals transformed into diagnosed schizophrenia. As a result, this investigation could not probe potential predictive value for coping mechanisms and self-esteem for UHR transformation. This study’s relatively reduced group size also limited the ability of this investigation’s logistic regression analysis to identify weaker influences, highlighting the significance of performing further research using larger group sizes.
This study has some notable strength. Frist, the population enrolled in this study was more homogeneous and better able to focus on the role of possible endophenotypes in psychopathogenesis. Second, the finding in this study was that negative coping was impaired in the UHR individuals, with clearer guidance for future interventions
