Since the early 1960s the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) has been one of the most frequently used standardized methods in international psychiatric research. The BPRS is used mainly for the rating of psychopathological symptoms of schizophrenic subjects. According to the results of factorial analyses, the original version of the BPRS is divided into five subscales, which have been preserved in the German translation. The validity of this original scale structure for the German BPRS version has not been investigated, however. A principal-components analysis of the 18 BPRS items carried out on the data of 301 schizophrenics yielded four factors that are comparable with four of the original subscales: Thought disturbance, Hostility/suspiciousness, Anxiety/depression, and Anergia. These results are compared with earlier findings and similarities and differences are discussed.
自20世纪60年代初以来，简明精神病评定量表（BPRS）一直是国际精神病学研究中最常用的标准化方法之一。BPRS主要用于评定精神分裂症患者的精神病理症状。根据因子分析结果，BPRS的原始版本分为五个分量表，在德语翻译中得以保留。然而，尚未对德国版BPRS这一原始量表结构的有效性进行研究。对301名精神分裂症患者的数据进行的18项BPRS项目的主成分分析得出了四个因子，这四个因子与原始五个分量表中的四个相当：思维紊乱、敌意/猜疑、焦虑/抑郁和无活力。将这些结果与早期研究结果进行比较，并讨论异同之处。
