We investigated the relationship between 9‐month relapse of 40 outpatients with schizophrenia and expressed emotion (EE) evaluated by the Five‐Minute Speech Sample (FMSS). The results of this study suggest that the FMSS is suitable for use as a convenient instrument to measure EE, although it shows more false‐positive results. Therefore borderline EE of the FMSS might have to be regarded as high EE.
