ABSTRACT

Background

Psychotic-like experiences are common in the non-clinical population, but the fact that they are often neglected can lead to even more serious problems. The present study assessed the psychometric validation of the Persian version of the Community Assessment of Psychotic Experiences (CAPE-42).

Methods

909 Iranian individuals participated in the study, completing the CAPE-42, as the confirmatory factor analysis was applied to assess the validity of the scale construct. The Pearson correlation coefficient Scale validity was estimated based on self-report measures for depression as well as positive and negative symptoms.

Results

The result of the Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the relevance of the fitness of the current model with the three subscales (RMSEA =.077, SRMR =.09, CFI =.95, NFI =.94, PNFI =.9, IFI = 95, RFI =.94). Cronbach’s alpha for total score was 0.93, and for positive, negative, and depressive factors stood at 0.91, 0.71, and 0.88, respectively. There was a significant correlation among CAPE-42 25 scores and components of the Peters ?40 Delusions Inventory (PDI-40) and DASS-21.

Discussion

The Community Assessment of Psychotic Experiences scale was useful in assessing the psychotic experience in the non-clinical population especially Iranian non-clinical population, who were the subject of the research.

伊朗大学生精神病体验社区评估 42 (CAPE-42) 波斯语版本的心理测量验证

摘要

背景

类似精神病的经历在非临床人群中很常见，但它们经常被忽视的事实可能导致更严重的问题。本研究评估了波斯语版本的精神病体验社区评估 (CAPE-42) 的心理测量验证。

方法

909 名伊朗人参与了这项研究，完成了 CAPE-42，因为验证性因素分析被用于评估量表结构的有效性。皮尔逊相关系数量表的有效性是根据抑郁症以及阳性和阴性症状的自我报告测量来估计的。

结果

验证性因子分析的结果证明了当前模型的适应度与三个分量表（RMSEA =.077、SRMR =.09、CFI =.95、NFI =.94、PNFI =.9、IFI = 95）的相关性, RFI =.94)。总分的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.93，阳性、阴性和抑郁因素的 alpha 分别为 0.91、0.71 和 0.88。CAPE-42 25 分数与 Peters 40 妄想量表 (PDI-40) 和 DASS-21 的组成部分之间存在显着相关性。

讨论

精神病体验社区评估量表有助于评估非临床人群的精神病体验，尤其是作为研究对象的伊朗非临床人群。
