younger age and lower HDRS and GAS scores and, finally, Fs with shorter duration of illness. Conclusion: Our results provide supportive evidence for both the clinical multidimensionality of delusional beliefs at the factor analytic level and the external validity of the factorial solution obtained. Different solutions obtained by other investigators (Kendler et al 1983, Garety and Hemsley 1987) are compared to ours and commented upon as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
