Standardised rating scales in Psychiatry: methodological basis, their possibilities and limitations and descriptions of important rating scales

Möller, Hans-Jürgen·2009·The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry

Abstract

Standardized rating scales are an important tool to improve the assessment of psychopathological symptoms in terms of validity and reliability. Especially observer-rated scales are of primary importance in this respect. Self-rating scales can give a meaningful complementary view to the findings of observer-rated scales. Besides scales covering more or less the whole spectrum of psychopathological symptoms, specialised scales focussing only on symptoms of disorders like schizophrenia or depression were developed. They are widely used, specifically for pragmatic reasons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
