A distribution is skewed if one of its tails is longer than the other. A positive skew means that it has a long tail in the positive direction.



A negative skew has a long tail in the negative direction.



A symmetric distribution has no skew. Distributions with positive skew are sometimes called "skewed to the right" whereas distributions with negative skew are called "skewed to the left."

Two abnormal patterns of family behavior described by Theodore Lidz.

Skew : skewed relationship between a child anda parent - leading to a power struggle between the parents - resulting in one parent dominating.
Schism: one parent is very close to child of oppposite sex.

The dynamics in these families could lead to Schizophrenia in a susceptible individual.

These theories are old though.
