Background:
The available metacognition scales have not been translated in the Indian population.
Aim:
This study aimed to translate the Metacognition Self-Assessment Scale (MSAS) and the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30) into Hindi and to evaluate the internal consistency and split-half reliability of the Hindi versions. Additional objectives were to compare the metacognitive impairments among schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.
Methodology:
MSAS and MCQ-30 were translated into Hindi using the World Health Organisation guidelines, and the Hindi versions were administered to 100 schizophrenia patients and 117 healthy controls enrolled through convenience sampling.
Results:
The Cronbach's alpha of MSAS was 0.949 and 0.899 for the schizophrenia and control groups, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha of MCQ-30 was 0.9 and 0.826, for the schizophrenia and control groups, respectively. Patients with schizophrenia performed poorly on MSAS when compared to healthy controls. However, on MCQ-30, both groups were comparable.
Conclusions:
The present study also suggests that patients with schizophrenia perform poorly on MSAS when compared to healthy controls. However, on MCQ-30, both groups are comparable in metacognition functioning.
