Research by ( Cooper, Brown, Gottesmann, Ayllon ) showed that sz diagnosis was ( twice, three times, many times ) as likely in America using the ( DSM, MSM, DSS, DTS ) compared to England where they used the ( ICD, ICT, ISD, CRC ). Cooper said it was ( highly unlikely, very likely, probable, definitely ) that this difference was due to ( cultural factors, social factors, genetic factors ) but rather that it was due to the ( unreliability, reliability, fact ) of having two ( different diagnostic systems, similar diagnostic systems, countries, hospital systems ). However this research was conducted in the ( 70's, 50's, 90's, 80's, 30's ) and since then efforts have been made to ( bring, push, end ) the two different systems ( closer together, further apart ), making this ( less, more, half ) of an issue.

A problem with the diagnosis of Sz, as it is a disorder, is that the testing means the diagnosis is left up to the psychiatrists of the patients description of their symptoms, which is a form of . This causes many issues as self report is notoriously , the patient may , or other wise their symptoms which can lead to a misdiagnosis.
An example of this can be found in 's study where the doctors wrongly diagnosed 7 out of 8 of the non-psychotic pseudo patients as schizophrenic, this was because the pseudo patients lied about their symptoms to the doctors which lead to the misdiagnosis.
Another piece of research supporting this was done by and , they showed that the between doctors diagnosing without use of laboratory and objective testing was just as as the agreement rate for schizophrenia diagnosis. This further proves that lack of objective testing causes a large issue for the diagnosis of schizophrenia.

In his study found after the patients were assigned the of 'schizophrenic and admitted to the hospital the hospital staff saw and interpreted pseudo patients as a of sz, even though they were behaving would. For example, one of the pseudo patients kept a diary and a nurse described the act of keeping a diary as '' which is a completely made up term that would not be recognised of the environment. This proves that labelling someone as 'schizophrenic' creates an issue because all of their behaviour is then viewed and interpreted in relation to that label which can lead to ordinary behaviour being interpreted, as in 's study.

A study by ( Keith, Conrad, Kevin ) found that there was a social economical ( bias, difference, change ) in the diagnosis of Sz as a ( larger, smaller ) amount of people from a ( lower, higher, better ) social economical background are diagnosed with Sz. He found ( 1.9, 0.19, 1.4, 1.6 )% of woking class individuals were diagnosed with sz, compared to the ( 0.9, 0.4, 0.8, 1.9 )% of middle and ( 0.4, 0.02, 0.2, 0.3 )% of upper class people. Keith claims it is unlikely that this difference is caused by ( environmental, biological ) factors and is due to the ( social bias, incompetence, failing ) of the doctor or psychiatrist. Furthermore ( 2.1, 21, 1.2 )% of African Americans are diagnosed with sz compared to ( 1.4, 1.9, 0.4 )% of white Americans, which suggests an ethical bias.
