Sum of BPRS ratings on suspiciousness, hallucinations, unusual thought content, and grandiosity items (range 4-17)
Sum of BPRS ratings on blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, and motor retardation items (range 3-20)
BPRS: Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale
SANS: Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms
Note: Positive coefficients indicate that higher/more severe symptom ratings are associated with smaller/less negative ERP amplitude.
