“…Although both factorial structures were found to be valid, the nine dimensions factorial structure was found to fit the data best. Interestingly, this pattern of results is similar to the CFA study of the CAPE in the German sample (Schlier et al, 2015).…”

“…Mark and Toulopoulou (2015) argued that the most plausible explanation for the inconsistent factorial structure across studies is the differing countries and/or languages. For example, in the original validation study in Greece the optimal factorial structure of the Greek version of the CAPE is the three correlated factor structure consisting of positive, negative and depressive symptoms dimensions (Stefanis et al, 2002), but in a study in Germany the most optimal factorial structure of the German version of the CAPE was a hierarchical nine dimensional factor structure consisting of a higher order of positive (bizarre experiences, hallucinations, paranoia, magical thinking, grandiosity), negative (social withdrawal, affective flattening, avolition experiences) and depressive symptoms factors (Schlier, Jaya, Moritz, & Lincoln, 2015).…”

“…The original factorial structure of three dimensional CAPE that was found using a Greek version (Stefanis et al, 2002) and the nine dimensional CAPE that was found using a German version (Schlier et al, 2015) were examined in an Indonesian sample. This study is the first study that examined the psychometric property of CAPE in Indonesia, and to a larger extent the first study that validated a self-report questionnaire for psychotic experiences in Indonesia.…”

The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) is a popular self-report questionnaire that measures lifetime psychotic experiences. However, despite being popular, a consistent factorial structure across nations has not been found. Furthermore, the factorial structure of the Indonesian version has not been examined questioning the types of symptoms that can be measured. Cross-sectional community sample from Indonesia (N = 844) was used in this study. Confirmatory factor analyses results showed that the original three dimensions and nine dimensions factorial structure of the CAPE were found to have an acceptable fit to the data. However, the nine dimensions factorial structure has significantly better fit than the three dimensions. Therefore, the Indonesian version of the CAPE consists of positive symptoms (bizarre experiences, hallucinations, paranoia, magical thinking and grandiosity), negative symptoms (affective flattening, social withdrawal, and avolition) and depressive symptoms. Analisis Faktor Konfirmatoris Dari Assesmen Komunitas terhadap Pengalaman Psikotik versi Indonesia AbstrakAsesmen Komunitas terhadap Pengalaman Psikotik (AKPP) adalah kuesioner populer yang mengukur pengalaman psikotik seumur hidup. Namun, meskipun populer, struktur faktor yang konsisten antar negara-negara belum ditemukan. Selain itu, struktur faktor untuk kuesioner versi Indonesia belum diteliti. Tanpa mengetahui struktur faktor kuesioner AKPP dalam bahasa Indonesia, kita tidak dapat mengetahui jenis gejala psikotik apa saja yang dapat diukur dengan baik di Indonesia dengan kuesioner ini. Sampel komunitas cross-sectional dari Indonesia (N = 844) digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Analisis faktor konfirmatori menunjukkan bahwa tiga dimensi dan sembilan dimensi struktur faktor AKPP memiliki fit yang baik dengan data. Namun, sembilan dimensi struktur faktorial lebih cocok daripada tiga dimensi secara signifikan. Oleh karena itu, AKPP bisa dianggap mengukur gejala positif (pengalaman aneh, halusinasi, paranoia, pemikiran magis, dan waham kebesaran), gejala negatif (afek datar, penarikan sosial, dan amotivasi) dan gejala depresi.

“…The measure has demonstrated good psychometric properties in both clinical and nonclinical samples (Thewissen, Bentall, Lecomte, van Os, & Myin‐Germeys, ; Yung et al, ). In this study, only the subscale items relating to paranoia (five items, e.g., “feeling persecuted” and “conspiracy against you”) and hearing voices (two items, “hearing voices” and “voices talking to each other”) were used (Schlier, Jaya, Moritz, & Lincoln, ). The Community Assessment of Psychotic Experiences has good reliability and validity and has been cross‐validated showing to highly correlate with interview‐based assessments of psychosis (Konings, Bak, Hanssen, van Os, & Krabbendam, ).…”

Attachment and dissociation as mediators of the link between childhood trauma and psychotic experiences

Exposure to childhood trauma has been implicated in the development of paranoia and hearing voices, but the mechanisms responsible for these associations remain unclear. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for ensuring that targeted interventions can be developed to better support people experiencing distress associated with paranoia and voices. Recent models have proposed that dissociation may be a mechanism specifically involved in the development of voices and insecure attachment in the development of paranoia. Recent theoretical proposals have added to this and argued that fearful attachment could also lead to increased vulnerability for voices. This study was the first to examine whether dissociation and insecure attachment styles mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and these psychotic experiences. One hundred and twelve participants experiencing clinical levels of psychosis completed measures of dissociation, childhood trauma, attachment, voices, and paranoia. Results revealed positive associations between fearful (but not dismissive and anxious) attachment, dissociation, trauma, and psychotic experiences. Mediation analyses indicated that dissociation, but not fearful attachment, significantly mediated the relationship between trauma and voices. Conversely, both dissociation and fearful attachment significantly mediated the relationship between trauma and paranoia. The findings suggest that insecure attachment might be more strongly related to paranoia than hallucinations and suggest that fearful attachment may be a more promising mechanism to explain this relationship. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the impact of dissociation on psychotic experiences may extend to paranoia. Future research is required to replicate these findings using interview-based attachment measures.

“…Participants were asked to rate symptom frequency during the past four weeks on a four-point Likert scale (1 = never to 4 = nearly always). The multidimensional model of the CAPE was used because it has been shown to have better factorial validity than the original three-dimensional model (Schlier, Jaya, Moritz, & Lincoln, 2015). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that bizarre experiences, hallucinations, paranoia, grandiosity, and magical thinking load into a positive symptom factor, while social withdrawal, affective flattening, and avolition load into a negative symptom factor (Schlier et al, 2015).…”

The prevalence of risk factors and symptoms of mental-health problems has been found to be higher in urban than non-urban areas. However, most studies are conducted in developed countries, and we are unsure whether a similar pattern can be observed in a developing country. In the present study, we compared rates of common mental health risk-factors and symptoms of psychosis, depression, and anxiety between urban and non-urban residents. A community sample of 844 participants completed an anonymous cross-sectional online survey. T-tests and Mann-Whitney U Test were used to compare participants’ scores on mental health-risk factors and symptoms based on their area of residence. Our analyses showed that participants living in urban areas experienced a higher frequency of loneliness, being bullied at home, positive symptoms of psychosis, depression, and stronger beliefs of negative schemas. These results reveal a similar pattern of higher frequencies of risk factors and symptoms of mental-health problems among people living in urban areas was found in a developing country. Urban living may be linked exposure to mental health risk factors and thus, increase the risk of having symptoms of mental health problems. Future research should investigate this mechanism in a longitudinal data.
