The comparison of the Behavioral Observation System and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale—Expanded

Abstract: The construct validity of the Behavioral Observation System (BOS), an observational instrument used by line staff to rate psychopathological behaviors, was studied using comparisons with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-Expanded version (BPRS-E). A sample of 100 inpatient participants was rated using the BPRS-E on the same day they were rated by line staff using the BOS. Pearson product-moment correlations were performed, supporting good convergence and divergence. Principle component analysis on the six BPR… Show more

“…The subscales of the measure have been shown to have discriminant validity from suicidal ideation ( r = .11 to .42; Taylor, Gooding, et al, 2010). The subscales of the measure have also been shown to have convergent validity with the relevant subscales of the Behavior Observation System, an observational measure of psychopathological behaviors (Mogge, LePage, Del Ben, & Murphy, 2002). Within the present study, the measure also demonstrated adequate internal consistency among a sample of individuals who were experiencing symptoms of psychosis (α = .72).…”

“…Initial studies found interrater reliabilities above .82 for each scale and Cronbach's alpha were all above .85 (LePage & Mogge, 2001). The validity of this instrument has been supported in studies comparing it with psychiatrist-assigned diagnoses (LePage & Mogge, 2001), the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-Extended version (BPRS-E) (Mogge, LePage, Del Ben, & Murphy, 2002), nurse's ratings of patients , and self-report measures of depression (LePage & Mogge, Sellers, & Del Ben, 2003).…”

“…Reliability studies found the Depression Scale to have an inter-rater reliability of .82, with a Cronbach's a of .88. Validity studies comparing the BOS with the BPRS-E (Mogge, LePage, DelBen, and Murphy, 2002;Mogge, LePage, and Murphy, 1999) found the Depression Scale obtained the highest correlation with the BPRS-E's Agitated Depression Scale. Construct validity of the Depression Scale also was supported through a principle component analysis where the BOS Depression Scale and BPRS-E scales of Agitated Depression and Anhedonia loaded on the same factor.…”

“…The scoring produces the following range of scores: Psychosis 0-28, Mania 0-32, Depression 0-28, and Behavioral Dyscontrol 0-48. Initial studies found inter-rater reliabilities above .82 for each scale and Cronbach's a were all above .85 [LePage and Mogge, 2002].…”
