Neurological damage
Adults who have schizophrenia show deficits in their ability to perform certain tasks and to attend during reaction time exercises, which suggests that brain damage or dysfunction could cause schizophrenia

cultural factors
People in extremely diverse cultures have the symptoms of schizophrenia, which supports the idea that it affects all racial and cultural groups. While the symptoms are globally consistent, the course and outcome of this psychosis vary from culture to culture. Things like financial difficulty, which is often found in poorer countries, could also factor in to an individual developing and being diagnosed with psychosis.
genetic influences
Generally speaking: genes are responsible for making individuals vulnerable to schizophrenia. While no one gene is solely responsible for an individual developing schizophrenia, when the right combination of genes come together, the individual runs the risk of becoming vulnerable to developing schizophrenia.
one study found that the severity of the parents disorder influenced the likelihood of the child having schizophrenia: the more severe the parents schizophrenia, the more likely the children were to develop it.
