Current emphasis on community integration requires reliable and valid measures of social behaviour; existing assessments largely overlap with symptoms or provide little detail on functioning. This study aims to re-assess the Social Behaviour Schedule (SBS) to fulfil this measurement role.
Internal consistency, construct validity and test-retest reliability were investigated in 421 community out-patients with schizophrenia. Concurrent validity was assessed against the Life Skill Profile (LSP), in 143 additional patients.
A 17-item SBS supported the construct validity of four factors: Antisocial Behaviour, Depressed Behaviour, Social Withdrawal and Thought Disturbance. It showed good test-retest reliability and rated significant social behaviour in a community sample. Weak correlations were observed with positive and negative symptoms. With the exception of Depressed Behaviour, the SBS factors showed strong correlations with the LSP.
SBS-17 is a valid measure assessing relevant community social functioning factors with relatively few items. The SBS could be useful both in research and in clinical settings.
当前对社区融合的重视需要可靠且有效的社会行为测量方法；现有的评估大多与症状重叠，或者在功能方面提供的细节很少。本研究旨在重新评估社会行为量表（SBS）以发挥这一测量作用。
对421名社区精神分裂症门诊患者进行了内部一致性、结构效度和重测信度调查。对另外143名患者，根据生活技能概况（LSP）评估了同时效度。
一个包含17个条目的SBS支持了四个因素的结构效度：反社会行为、抑郁行为、社交退缩和思维紊乱。它显示出良好的重测信度，并对社区样本中的重要社会行为进行了评分。与阳性和阴性症状的相关性较弱。除抑郁行为外，SBS各因素与LSP显示出强相关性。
SBS - 17是一种有效的测量方法，用相对较少的条目就能评估相关的社区社会功能因素。SBS在研究和临床环境中可能都有用。
