There is evidence to suggest that perceived discrimination may be associated with psychosis. Less is known about its potential impact on those at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of perceived discrimination in a CHR sample and its possible relationship to attenuated positive symptoms and negative self-beliefs.
Participants were 360 CHR individuals and 180 healthy controls. Assessments included a self-report measure of perceived discrimination, the Scale of Prodromal Symptoms and the Brief Core Schema Scale.
CHR participants reported significantly more perceived discrimination. Perceived discrimination was significantly associated with negative schemas, but not with attenuated positive symptoms.
These results suggest that individuals at CHR for psychosis endorse a higher level of perceived discrimination, which is associated with increased negative schemas, but not attenuated positive symptoms.
有证据表明,感知歧视可能与精神病有关。然而,对于感知歧视对精神病高危人群(CHR)的潜在影响,我们知之甚少。本研究旨在确定 CHR 样本中感知歧视的患病率及其与轻度阳性症状和消极自我信念的可能关系。
参与者为 360 名 CHR 个体和 180 名健康对照者。评估包括感知歧视的自我报告量表、前驱症状量表和简要核心图式量表。
CHR 参与者报告的感知歧视明显更多。感知歧视与消极图式显著相关,但与轻度阳性症状无关。
这些结果表明,精神病高危人群中个体的感知歧视程度更高,这与消极图式的增加有关,但与轻度阳性症状无关。
