Table 2.

Correlation coefficients (r) for the correlations between single BPRS symptoms and dichotic listening laterality index. Symptoms and correlation coefficients that are marked in red showed significant correlations with the dichotic listening laterality index. Explanations of BPRS symptoms and formula for calculation of dichotic listening laterality index score are given based on correct reports for the right and left ear stimulus, respectively (see the text above). The three standard positive symptoms are ‘Hallucinations’, ‘Unusual Thought Content’, and ‘Bizarre Behavior’. The three standard negative symptoms are ‘Conceptual Disorganization’, ‘Blunted Affect’, and ‘Emotional Withdrawal’.
