“…We expect that the CAINS-K would exhibit high internal consistency as well as good convergent and divergent validities.

Finally, we were also interested in whether cultural variations found in a preliminary Chinese version of the CAINS also exists in the CAINS-K.…”

ObjectiveClinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS) has recently been developed to improve measurement of negative symptoms in schizophrenia. We performed a multi-center study to validate the Korean version of the CAINS (CAINS-K) and explore potential cultural variation.MethodsOne hundred eighty schizophrenia patients diverse in demographic and illness profile were recruited from four centers in Korea. Along with the CAINS-K, the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), a self-report measure of behavioral inhibition and activation (BIS/BAS) and neurocognitive tasks were administered to verify external validities.ResultsThe CAINS-K showed high internal-consistency (0.92) and inter-rater reliability (0.77). Exploratory Factor Analysis replicated a two-factor structure of the original scale including motivation/pleasure and expression deficits dimensions. Korean patients tended to report lower pleasure compared to American patients in the prior study. The CAINS-K showed an adequate convergent validity with the SANS, negative symptoms of the BPRS, and BAS. A divergent validity was supported as the CAINS-K showed zero or only weak correlations with other symptoms of the BPRS, depression from the CDSS, and neurocognitive tasks.ConclusionThe CAINS-K demonstrated high internal consistency and adequate external validities, and is expected to promote studies on negative symptoms in Korean patients with schizophrenia.

“…13 Translated versions of these scales have also supported a 2-factor structure, suggesting that these dimensions are not culturally bound. [14][15][16][17] Collectively, these findings have led the field to shift away from a unidimensional conceptualization, in favor of a 2-dimensional conceptualization of negative symptoms. 18 However, it is unclear whether the widespread adoption of the 2-dimensional structure is fully statistically or theoretically justified.…”

“…The first was a unidimensional model, which considered whether all items best reflect a single latent negative symptom construct. The second was the 2dimensional model identified in prior EFA studies, 7,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] reflecting EXP and MAP factors. The third model was a 5-factor model that specified 1 factor for each of the 5 domains identified in the 2005 National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) consensus development conference 26 : anhedonia, avolition, asociality, blunted affect, and alogia.…”

Network Analysis Reveals the Latent Structure of Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia

Prior studies using exploratory factor analysis provide evidence that negative symptoms are best conceptualized as 2 dimensions reflecting diminished motivation and expression. However, the 2-dimensional model has yet to be evaluated using more complex mathematical techniques capable of testing structure. In the current study, network analysis was applied to evaluate the latent structure of negative symptoms using a community-detection algorithm. Two studies were conducted that included outpatients with schizophrenia (SZ; Study 1: n = 201; Study 2: n = 912) who were rated on the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS). In both studies, network analysis indicated that the 13 BNSS items divided into 6 negative symptom domains consisting of anhedonia, avolition, asociality, blunted affect, alogia, and lack of normal distress. Separation of these domains was statistically significant with reference to a null model of randomized networks. There has been a recent trend toward conceptualizing the latent structure of negative symptoms in relation to 2 distinct dimensions reflecting diminished expression and motivation. However, the current results obtained using network analysis suggest that the 2-dimensional conceptualization is not complex enough to capture the nature of the negative symptom construct. Similar to recent confirmatory factor analysis studies, network analysis revealed that the latent structure of negative symptom is best conceptualized in relation to the 5 domains identified in the 2005 National Institute of Mental Health consensus development conference (anhedonia, avolition, asociality, blunted affect, and alogia) and potentially a sixth domain consisting of lack of normal distress. Findings have implications for identifying pathophysiological mechanisms and targeted treatments.
