摘要
This paper reports the development of a short scale for the measurement of two aspects of schizotypy for use in general population studies. It was intended for use particularly in a 'high-risk' study in Mauritius but only the development of the scale in Britain is described in this paper. The two aspects measured are those concerned with cognitive/perceptual/attentional function, on the one hand; and social dysfunction and anhedonia, and physical anhedonia on the other. These might be called the 'positive' and 'negative' aspects of schizotypy, possibly having some parallels to the postive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The work described indicates that both aspects can be measured with reliability and with stability of factor structure from study to study. A number of studies are described in which the questionnaire, or earlier versions of it are used. These all indicate that the scales have good construct validity. © 1990.
