To assess general psychopathology (non-syndrome-specific,
including subclinical), several instruments were used in the BASE
intensive protocol (IP):
(1) For screening purposes, the Specific
Behavior and Speech scale, which was developed within
the BASE psychiatry unit, was used by the psychiatrists as well as
the research assistants (see observation protocol) to rate certain
features of participants' behavior and speech. Judgements were made
on a 4-point-Likert-scale (1 = certainly not, 4 = certainly yes).
(2) A general psychopathological profile was obtained using
the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS,
Overall & Gorham, 1962; see Literature).
This 18-item scale was used by the examining psychiatrist, who rated
on a 7-point-scale (1 = non-existing, 7 = extremely distinct) whether
certain psychopathological aspects apply to the participant. The BPRS
contains five subscales (Anxiety / Depression, Anergia,
Thought disturbance, Activation, Hostility)
As further psychopathological aspects, hypochondriacal
fears, subjective health
complaints, and participants' sleeping
behavior were considered.
