Table 2. Degree to which Momentary Psychotic Experiences in the ESM paradigm manifest as Clinical Psychotic Symptoms at PANSS interview, contingent on momentary context and emotion variables.
Moderating variable | Stratified association Momentary Psychotic Experiences with Clinical Psychotic Symptoms (95% CI) | P Interaction* | P Interaction* (sensitivity analysis†) | |
Momentary negative affect | Low NA | 0.25 (0.08–0.42) | <0.001 | <0.001 |
High NA | 0.42 (0.25–0.59) | |||
Momentary positive affect | Low PA | 0.38 (0.21–0.55) | 0.002 | <0.001 |
High PA | 0.30 (0.13–0.47) | |||
Momentary event stress | Low stress | 0.31 (0.14–0.49) | 0.008 | 0.009 |
High stress | 0.39 (0.22–0.57) | |||
Momentary activity stress | Low stress | 0.30 (0.13–0.47) | 0.001 | <0.001 |
High stress | 0.39 (0.22–0.56) |
Interaction tests whether, for example, dichotomous NA moderates the association between Momentary Psychotic Experiences (dependent variable) and Clinical Psychotic Symptoms (independent variable).
†Sensitivity analysis tests same interaction using dichotomous measure of Momentary Psychotic Experiences (dependent variable) and dichotomous measure of Clinical Psychotic Symptoms (independent variable).
