The Symptom Questionnaire effectively measures emotional states in British adults. This study validated its reliability and validity across diverse patient and non-patient groups, confirming its utility in mental health assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Psychiatry
  • Emotional state measurement

Background:

  • The Symptom Questionnaire is a brief emotional state measure.
  • Prior research suggests good reliability and validity.
  • The original validation sample was limited (small, North American).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the Symptom Questionnaire's reliability and validity in a large, diverse British population.
  • To compare emotional state scores between psychiatric patients and non-patients.
  • To examine potential sex differences in Symptom Questionnaire scores.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 707 participants.
  • Included British psychiatric in-patients, out-patients, day hospital attenders, and a non-patient sample.

  • Statistical analysis to compare group differences and sex effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Consistent differences in emotional state scores were observed between patient and non-patient groups.
    • The Symptom Questionnaire demonstrated reliability and validity in this British sample.
    • No significant sex differences were found on the Questionnaire scales.

    Conclusions:

    • The Symptom Questionnaire is a reliable and valid measure of emotional state for British psychiatric and non-patient populations.
    • The findings support its use in clinical and research settings in the UK.
    • The measure appears robust across different demographic groups, including sex.
