Cross-cultural Validation of the 5-Factor Structure of Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia

Published inSchizophrenia Bulletin

Publication date2018

Abstract

Negative symptoms are currently viewed as having a 2-dimensional structure, with factors reflecting diminished expression (EXP) and motivation and pleasure (MAP). However, several factor-analytic studies suggest that the consensus around a 2-dimensional model is premature. The current study investigated and cross-culturally validated the factorial structure of BNSS-rated negative symptoms across a range of cultures and languages.
