Abstract

Negative symptoms reflect a currently much-untreated loss of normal functioning and are frequently found in psychotic disorders. We present the first translation of the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) to European Portuguese and evaluate its validity in a sample of Portuguese male patients with a psychotic spectrum disorder. The Portuguese BNSS showed excellent internal consistency, high convergent validity (i.e., strong correlation with the PANSS negative factor), and high discriminant validity (i.e., a lack of association with the PANSS positive factor). In sum, the present European Portuguese BNSS has shown to be reliable, thus extending this instrument's clinical availability worldwide.

欧洲葡萄牙语版简明消极症状量表。

消极症状反映了一种目前尚未得到治疗的正常功能丧失，经常出现在精神病性障碍中。我们首次将简明消极症状量表（BNSS）翻译成了欧洲葡萄牙语，并在葡萄牙男性精神病谱系障碍患者样本中对其有效性进行了评估。葡萄牙语简明消极症状量表显示出良好的内部一致性、高度的收敛效度（即与 PANSS 阴性因子有很强的相关性）和高度的判别效度（即与 PANSS 阳性因子缺乏关联）。总之，目前的欧洲葡萄牙语 BNSS 证明是可靠的，从而将该工具的临床应用扩展到了全世界。

期刊介绍： ''Psychopathology'' is a record of research centered on findings, concepts, and diagnostic categories of phenomenological, experimental and clinical psychopathology. Studies published are designed to improve and deepen the knowledge and understanding of the pathogenesis and nature of psychopathological symptoms and psychological dysfunctions. Furthermore, the validity of concepts applied in the neurosciences of mental functions are evaluated in order to closely bring together the mind and the brain. Major topics of the journal are trajectories between biological processes and psychological dysfunction that can help us better understand a subject’s inner experiences and interpersonal behavior. Descriptive psychopathology, experimental psychopathology and neuropsychology, developmental psychopathology, transcultural psychiatry as well as philosophy-based phenomenology contribute to this field.
