Abstract
Objectives
Basic self-disturbance is an abnormality in subjective self-experience and a core feature of schizophrenia. The Inventory of Psychotic-Like Anomalous Self-Experiences (IPASE) is a self-report measure designed to assess basic self-disturbance. Despite its clinical utility, a Japanese version has not yet been established. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the IPASE and evaluate its reliability and validity.
Methods
The study included 182 participants (83 individuals with schizophrenia and 99 healthy controls). The Japanese version of the IPASE was administered to all participants, along with the PANSS and YMRS, to assess validity.
Result
All IPASE domain scores and the total score were significantly higher in the schizophrenia group than in healthy controls. The IPASE total score showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.80). In the schizophrenia group, the PANSS positive subscale, general psychopathology subscale, and total scores were all significantly positively correlated with IPASE scores. These positive correlations with the positive subscale support convergent validity. ROC analysis indicated that the IPASE total score had good discriminative ability for schizophrenia diagnosis (AUC = 0.851).
Conclusion
The Japanese version of the IPASE demonstrated high reliability and validity.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR) publishes high-standard original research of a technical, methodological, experimental and clinical nature, contributing to the theory, methodology, practice and evaluation of mental and behavioural disorders. The journal targets in particular detailed methodological and design papers from major national and international multicentre studies. There is a close working relationship with the US National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Diagnostic Instruments Committees, as well as several other European and international organisations.
MPR aims to publish rapidly articles of highest methodological quality in such areas as epidemiology, biostatistics, generics, psychopharmacology, psychology and the neurosciences. Articles informing about innovative and critical methodological, statistical and clinical issues, including nosology, can be submitted as regular papers and brief reports. Reviews are only occasionally accepted.
MPR seeks to monitor, discuss, influence and improve the standards of mental health and behavioral neuroscience research by providing a platform for rapid publication of outstanding contributions. As a quarterly journal MPR is a major source of information and ideas and is an important medium for students, clinicians and researchers in psychiatry, clinical psychology, epidemiology and the allied disciplines in the mental health field.
