T114. SCHIZOTYPAL PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE-BRIEF: FACTOR STRUCTURE ANALYSIS IN A NONCLINICAL ROMANIAN SAMPLE

摘要

BackgroundThe study of schizotypal traits in the general population has been proposed as a way to understand aetiology and pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Self-report measures of psychometric schizotypy like the Brief version of the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ-B) have been shown to be valid, inexpensive and non-invasive tools. Few studies used a Likert-type scale format, which could be better able to allow partial endorsement and to detect more defended respondents than the forced choice format. At our knowledge, no studies of the SPQ-B used validity and social desirability items, to assess the potential impact of random or biased answers.
