“…Together with findings that anhedonia correlates with measures of social maladjustment, confused thinking, depression, poor morale and poor health in substance-dependent inpatients (Penk et al, 1979), these reports suggest that elevated levels of anhedonia are associated with numerous factors that could make recovery from substance dependence more difficult.…”

“…The PAS and SAS are intended to measure anhedonia experienced in physical pleasures and interpersonal activities, respectively, as a long-standing personality trait, and the validity of this has been supported in a substance-dependent population (Penk et al, 1979). While these scales are reported to have good indices of reliability and are moderately correlated with each other (Chapman et al, 1976;Penk et al, 1979), there are mixed views on their construct (convergent and discriminant) validity.…”

“…Thus, individuals are not indiscriminately endorsing schizotypy traits. Relatedly, individuals with psychometrically-defined schizotypy completing comprehensive measures of self-reported psychopathology (e.g., the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) fail to produce abnormal validity profiles or elevated scores on all/most scales (Lenzenweger, 1991;Merritt, Balogh, & DeVinney, 1993;Penk, Carpenter, & Rylee, 1979) and sometimes fail to show evidence on scales presumed to tap psychosis-proneness (Bolinskey & Gottesman, 2010;Hunter, et al, 2014). Relatedly, many studies recruiting schizotypy groups also employ infrequency scales -measures that assess endorsement of infrequently occurring events, some of which have a pathological tone (e.g., "I have never combed my hair before going out in the morning"; Chapman & Chapman, 1983).…”

An interesting set of findings has emerged from the literature regarding schizotypy. Individuals with psychometric schizotypy self-report pathology in certain neuropsychological, affective experiential, expressive and olfactory abilities and subjective quality of life at levels between one and two standard deviations more severe than their non-schizotypal peers; a level often similar to that seen in chronic schizophrenia. Objectively however, individuals with psychometric schizotypy do not show concomitant impairments in these domains. This "subjective-objective" disjunction is remarkable in that samples are largely drawn from college settings; thus likely reflecting the healthiest individuals within the schizophrenia-spectrum. We propose that this disjunction can be conceptualized as a "cognitive bias", and that it reflects a dysfunction in the systems underlying reasoning and self-evaluation. In this article, we lay out evidence underlying the subjective-objective disjunction and discuss potential methodological and psychological issues that may explain this phenomenon.

Instruments developed to measure anhedonia are reviewed and their psychometric properties and conceptual framework discussed. Most instruments were designed considering anhedonia to be a symptom either of schizophrenia or of depression. Only the Physical and Social Anhedonia Scales of Chapman et al, designed to measure a lifelong pleasure deficiency, considered to be related to schizophrenia, and, to a lesser extent, the Pleasure Scale of Fawcett et al, designed to evaluate a state dependent deficit, considered to identify a subtype of depression, have been psychometrically extensively investigated. Since we were interested in studying anhedonia in depression, we made a Dutch translation of the Fawcett-Clark Pleasure Scale and report here on the psychometric properties of this translated version. Using the Rasch model for testing the homogeneity and transferability of the scale, we demonstrated that the original scale did not fit the model. A subscale of 14 items was constructed which did.
