Cronbach α's for the 5 subscales were (a) positive factor, 0.85, (b) negative factor, 0.86, (c) hostile factor, 0.78, (d) disorganized factor, 0.83, and (e) anxiety and depression factor, 0.70.
Social anhedonia scale loaded on the negative factor; Magical ideation and perceptual aberration scales loaded on the positive factor and the Cognitive slippage scale loaded on the disorganized factor.
The second model included a disorganized schizotypy factor with loadings from the CSS and SAS and a negative schizotypy factor with loadings from the RPAS-ANT and RPAS-CONS.
The second model included a disorganized schizotypy factor with loadings from the CSS and SAS and a negative schizotypy factor with loadings from the TEPS-ANT and TEPS-CONS.
The Disorganized Thoughts factor includes assessment of conceptual disorganization, difficulty in abstract thinking, stereotyped thinking, tension, mannerisms and posturing, disorientation, poor attention, lack of judgment and insight, disturbance of volition, and preoccupation.
The factor analysis suggested four factors: "Functioning" (loading by SOFI, QLS, and PANSS negative), "Daily Living" (loading by SOFI), "Depression" (loading by MADRS, PANSS anxiety/depression factor, and SWN-K negatively-asked questions), and "Psychopathology" (loading by PANSS negative and positive symptoms, disorganized thoughts, and hostility/excitement factors).
Individual differences in the way mothers conceptualize their relationship with their unborn child have been associated with important outcomes including mental health, well-being, and health practices in pregnancy [ 1], postpartum parent-infant interaction [ 2], infant mood [ 3], and child disorganized attachment, itself a risk factor for psychopathology and poor socio-economic outcome [ 4, 5].
In the regression model, lack of improvement in the Negative Symptom and the Disorganized Thoughts factors predicted non-response at endpoint for patients who had not responded by Week 4. Specifically, lack of at least a 3-point drop from baseline in both of these factor scores at Week 4 predicted continued non-response with a 48% PPV, 91% NPV, 68% sensitivity, and 82% specificity.
Symptom severity was measured by 5 Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) factor scales: positive, negative, disorganized thoughts, hostility and depression [ 32].
The "Psychopathology" factor included 4 of the 5 PANSS factors-negative symptoms; positive symptoms; disorganized thoughts; and hostility/excitement.
In addition, this post hoc analysis used Pearson correlations to assess the relationship between clinical outcomes, measured by the 5 PANSS factors--positive, negative, disorganized thoughts, hostility and depression; and the productivity level at the end of the study.
