Relationship of amotivation to neurocognition, self-efficacy and functioning in first-episode psychosis: a structural equation modeling approach.

TL;DR: The results indicate a critical intermediary role of amotivation in linking neurocognitive impairment to functioning in FEP and general self-efficacy may represent a promising treatment target for improvement of motivational deficits and functional outcome in the early illness stage.

In and out of schizophrenia: Activation and deactivation of the negative and positive schemas.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the cognitive triad - the negative view of the self, others, and the future - is the source of the content for the negative and positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between negative symptom subdomains and cognition.

TL;DR: The need to classify DEE and social avolition separately are highlighted as both are necessary in refining the complex relationship between negative symptoms and cognition as well as potentially guiding treatment and management of schizophrenia.
Book ChapterDOI

Schizophrenia: Basic and Clinical.

TL;DR: Pharmacologic challenge studies, postmortem analyses and a recent sufficiently powered genome-wide association study and copy number variant studies provide compelling evidence that NMDA receptor hypofunction is an important pathophsysiologic feature of schizophrenia.

The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale

TL;DR: The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BRS) as mentioned in this paper was developed to provide a rapid assessment technique particularly suited to the evaluation of patient change, and it is recommended for use where efficiency, speed, and economy are important considerations.

Cluster analysis

TL;DR: Cluster analysis is a multivariate procedure for detecting natural groupings in data that resembles discriminant analysis in one respect—the researcher seeks to classify a set of objects into subgroups although neither the number nor members of the subgroups are known.

Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia: Definition and Reliability

TL;DR: The developed Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms has excellent interrater reliability and the five symptom complexes defined by the scale have good internal consistency, which indicates that the conceptual organization of the scale is also cohesive.
