Answer to Question 1

The social causation hypothesis holds that members of the lower classes experience more stressors; these experiences can trigger the manifestation of schizophrenia. The social selection hypothesis holds that schizophrenic individuals are less able to complete education and keep a good job, and so their status drifts down to the lower class.

Answer to Question 2

A potential marker for vulnerability to schizophrenia should distinguish between persons who have schizophrenia and those who do not. The marker should be a stable characteristic over time. The proposed measure of vulnerability should identify more people among the biological relatives of schizophrenic patients than among people in the general population. The proposed measure of vulnerability should be able to predict the future development of schizophrenia among those who have not yet experienced psychotic episodes.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
