Reactivity to acute stress is crucial for understanding functional psychoses, despite low priority in current classifications. The Reactivity of Psychosis Rating Form (RPRF) shows validity and reliability in assessing this factor.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychopathology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Current diagnostic systems (ICD-10, DSM-IV) underemphasize reactivity to acute stress in functional psychoses.
  • Reactivity is historically significant in Scandinavian psychiatric traditions for understanding psychosis development.
  • The concept of reactivity is complex and requires operationalization for consistent assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To operationalize the concept of reactivity to acute stress in functional psychoses.
  • To develop and validate a reliable rating scale for assessing reactivity.
  • To investigate the psychometric properties of the Reactivity of Psychosis Rating Form (RPRF).

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Reactivity of Psychosis Rating Form (RPRF).

  • Assessment of interrater reliability for RPRF elements and factors.
  • Factor analysis of RPRF data to identify underlying dimensions.
  • Evaluation of construct and discriminant validity of the RPRF.

    • Main Results:

    • Seven out of ten elements of the RPRF demonstrated reliable ratings.
    • Factor analysis identified three reliable factors: stressor, onset, and change.
    • The RPRF exhibited both construct and discriminant validity.

    Conclusions:

    • The RPRF is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring reactivity in functional psychoses.
    • Further research using the RPRF can clarify the role of reactivity in psychosis.
    • The findings support the continued consideration of reactivity in the diagnosis and understanding of functional psychoses.
