The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE-42) is a reliable tool to assess psychotic experiences (PEs) in clinical and non-clinical populations, in research and clinical settings.
To investigate cultural differences in PEs and control for pathological behavior in non-clinical groups, we developed a Hebrew version of the CAPE-42 using the translation/back-translation method. A total of 359 Hebrew speaking Israelis participated in an online study comprising the CAPE-42, the Autistic Quotient (AQ), the Center for Epidemiological Study - Depression Scale (CES-D), and the Prodromal Questionnaire - Brief Version (PQ-B). We examined the psychometric properties of the Hebrew CAPE-42-including its factor structure, internal consistency, gender invariance, and validity. We also investigated the independent and interaction effects of psychotic and autistic traits on depressive symptoms.
Reliability analysis demonstrated very good internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analysis supported the eight-factor model, which included depressive, social withdrawal, affective flattening, avolition, bizarre experiences, perceptual abnormalities, persecutory ideation, and magical thinking. Demonstrating its predictive and convergent validity, we found significant correlations with the CES-D and the PQ-B. The predictive model showed that both psychotic and autistic traits are independent, non-interacting, predictors of depressive symptoms.
The Hebrew CAPE-42 offers a valuable instrument for investigating PEs in the Hebrew-speaking population and facilitates cross-cultural studies.
社区心理体验评估量表（CAPE - 42）是一种可靠的工具，可用于在研究和临床环境中评估临床和非临床人群的精神病性体验（PEs）。
为了调查PEs中的文化差异并控制非临床组中的病理行为，我们采用翻译/回译方法开发了希伯来语版的CAPE - 42。共有359名说希伯来语的以色列人参与了一项在线研究，该研究包括CAPE - 42、自闭症商数（AQ）、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES - D）和前驱症状问卷简版（PQ - B）。我们检验了希伯来语版CAPE - 42的心理测量特性，包括其因子结构、内部一致性、性别不变性和效度。我们还研究了精神病性特质和自闭症特质对抑郁症状的独立作用和交互作用。
信度分析显示内部一致性非常好，验证性因子分析支持八因子模型，该模型包括抑郁、社交退缩、情感平淡、意志缺失、怪异体验、感知异常、被害妄想和神奇思维。通过与CES - D和PQ - B的显著相关性证明了其预测效度和聚合效度。预测模型表明，精神病性特质和自闭症特质都是抑郁症状的独立、非交互的预测因子。
希伯来语版CAPE - 42为调查说希伯来语人群中的PEs提供了一种有价值的工具，并促进了跨文化研究。
