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
