Option characteristic curves for this item, Figure 5, tend to increase less quickly than those for Item 1 (Delusions).
However, results show that the expected item score for Item 1 (Delusions) and Item 3 (Hallucinatory Behavior) increase much more between -2 and +2 than the expected score for Item 5 (Grandiosity).
DSM IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association 2000) criteria include having at least two of the following five symptoms: 1) delusions, 2) hallucinations, 3) grossly disorganized behavior, 4) catatonic behavior, or 5) negative symptoms.
Indeed, the value of the expected item scores at the midpoint of the sample (0 standard normal quantiles) is 3.5 (right hand abscissa) for Item 1 (Delusions), 3.8 for Item 3 (Hallucinatory Behavior), and only 2.2 for Item 5 (Grandiosity).
It includes 12 neuropsychiatric symptoms (domains): 1) delusions; 2) hallucinations; 3) agitation; 4) depression/dysphoria; 5) anxiety; 6) euphoria/elation; 7) apathy/indifference; 8) disinhibition; 9) irritability/lability; 10) aberrant motor behavior; 11) nighttime disturbances; and 12) appetite/eating change.
Indeed, the probability of endorsing Options 2, 3, and 5 from Item 5 increase much slower than the corresponding options for Items 1 or 3. Other important differences between Item 5 (Grandiosity, Figure 4) and Items 1 (Delusions, Figure 2) or 3 (Hallucinatory Behavior, Figure 3) are evident when comparing expected item scores.
