“…Indeed, earlier findings using the TEPS (Gard et al, ), a measure of anticipatory and consummatory pleasure, suggested that there are minor cultural variations in reporting experiential pleasure (Chan et al, ; Chan, Wang, et al, ; Li et al, ). However, in a large investigation of a Chinese undergraduate sample using the Chapman Revised Social Anhedonia Scale (RSAS; Eckblad, Chapman, Chapman, & Mishlove, ), the mean scores of Chinese students were lower than those reported in a comparably sized investigation of American students (Kwapil, Ros‐Morente, Silvia, & Barrantes‐Vidal, ), though the factor structure of the Chapman Psychosis‐Proneness scales appeared consistent across the two cultures (Chan, Shi, Geng, et al, ). Taken together, it is reasonable to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the ACIPS in a Chinese setting.…”

Social anhedonia, the reduced capacity for social and interpersonal pleasure, often accompanies several forms of psychopathology. The goal of the present study was to validate the Chinese translation of the Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale (ACIPS), a promising new tool for the assessment of individual differences in social pleasure. The Chinese versions of the ACIPS, the Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS), and the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) were administered to 389 nonclinical adults. Factor analysis revealed that a four-factor structure accounted for nearly 53% of the variance, and the factors were consistent with those identified from factor analyses of the ACIPS in Western (U.S.) samples. The ACIPS measure showed high internal consistency as well. Correlational analysis revealed evidence of convergent validity. Individuals who scored high on the ACIPS were more likely to score high on measures of anticipatory and consummatory pleasure. Moreover, ACIPS total scores were inversely associated with scores on the No Close Friends subscale and the Constricted Affect subscale of the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ). Taken together, the findings suggest that the Chinese translation of the ACIPS is a reliable, valid measure that can be used to assess individual differences in the capacity to experience social and interpersonal pleasure in Chinese individuals.

“…Such an approach, using CFA to compare model fit in data from different countries, has been used effectively to test for cultural differences in symptoms of other mental disorders, such as depression (e.g. Byrne and Baron, 1994) and psychosis (Kwapil et al, 2012). This methodology has the advantage of being less vulnerable to the sorts of confound described above, as it does not rely on comparison of the severity of ASD symptomatology in different samples.…”

The recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–Fifth Edition (DSM-5) reformulation of autism spectrum disorder has received empirical support from North American and UK samples. Autism spectrum disorder is an increasingly global diagnosis, and research is needed to discover how well it generalises beyond North America and the United Kingdom. We tested the applicability of the DSM-5 model to a sample of Finnish young people with autism spectrum disorder (n = 130) or the broader autism phenotype (n = 110). Confirmatory factor analysis tested the DSM-5 model in Finland and compared the fit of this model between Finnish and UK participants (autism spectrum disorder, n = 488; broader autism phenotype, n = 220). In both countries, autistic symptoms were measured using the Developmental, Diagnostic and Dimensional Interview. Replicating findings from English-speaking samples, the DSM-5 model fitted well in Finnish autism spectrum disorder participants, outperforming a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) model. The DSM-5 model fitted equally well in Finnish and UK autism spectrum disorder samples. Among broader autism phenotype participants, this model fitted well in the United Kingdom but poorly in Finland, suggesting that cross-cultural variability may be greatest for milder autistic characteristics. We encourage researchers with data from other cultures to emulate our methodological approach, to map any cultural variability in the manifestation of autism spectrum disorder and the broader autism phenotype. This would be especially valuable given the ongoing revision of the International Classification of Diseases–11th Edition, the most global of the diagnostic manuals.

“…Good examples of these self-reports are the Junior Schizotypy Scales [23], or The Oviedo Schizotypy Assessment Questionnaire (ESQUIZO-Q) [24]. The cited self-reports have presented adequate psychometric properties under Classic Test Theory (CTT); however, it is necessary to rigurously advance in the assessment of this construct with the incorporation of psychometric advances such as differential item functioning, measurement invariance across age or cultures [25], [26] or Item Response Theory (IRT) [27].…”

BackgroundSchizotypal traits in adolescents from the general population represent the behavioral expression of liability for psychotic disorders. Schizotypy assessment in this sector of population has advanced considerably in the last few years; however, it is necessary to incorporate recent advances in psychological and educational measurement.ObjectiveThe main goal of this study was to develop a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) to evaluate schizotypy through “The Oviedo Questionnaire for Schizotypy Assessment” (ESQUIZO-Q), in non-clinical adolescents.MethodsThe final sample consisted of 3,056 participants, 1,469 males, with a mean age of 15.9 years (SD = 1.2).ResultsThe results indicated that the ESQUIZO-Q scores presented adequate psychometric properties under both Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory. The Information Function estimated using the Gradual Response Model indicated that the item pool effectively assesses schizotypy at the high end of the latent trait. The correlation between the CAT total scores and the paper-and-pencil test was 0.92. The mean number of presented items in the CAT with the standard error fixed at ≤0.30 was of 34 items.ConclusionThe CAT showed adequate psychometric properties for schizotypy assessment in the general adolescent population. The ESQUIZO-Q adaptive version could be used as a screening method for the detection of adolescents at risk for psychosis in both educational and mental health settings.
