精神病状况表（PSS）是一种广泛使用的访谈，旨在提高临床判断的研究价值。尽管它是针对精神病患者开发的，但其作者希望它可以用于评估非患者，这种能力将使其成为流行病学研究急需的工具。本研究测试了从 PSS 中抽取的量表在一般人群样本 (n. = 133) 和患者样本 (n. = 100) 中的内部一致性信度。与 PSS 的作者一样，我们发现了多种具有临床意义的量表，可以可靠地用于患者。然而，与此形成鲜明对比的是，大多数这些在一般人群样本中被证明是不可靠的。对于大多数 PSS 量表在一般人群样本中的失败以及少数的成功提供了推测性解释。
The Psychiatric Status Schedule (PSS) is a widely used interview that was designed to improve the research value of clinical judgments. Although it was developed with psychiatric patients, its authors hoped it could be used to evaluate nonpatients, a capability that would make it a much needed tool for epidemiologic research. The present study tests the internal consistency reliability of scales drawn from the PSS in both a general population sample (n. = 133) and a patient sample (n. = 100). Like the PSS's authors, we found a wide variety of clinically meaningful scales reliable for use with patients. In striking contrast, however, most of these proved unreliable in the general population sample. Speculative explanations are offered for the failure of most of the PSS scales in the general population sample and for the success of a few.
