positive symptoms (delusions, grandiosity suspiciousness/persecution, unusual thought content) negative symptoms (blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation, active social avoidance |
Reported: Rosen et al.,2017 Internal consistency α = 0.77 – 0.89 Test-retest reliability r=0.80 Inter-rater reliability – Kappa = 0.85 Not reported: Perona-Garcelan et al., 2008, 2012; Wright et al., 2020; Longden et al., 2020 |
