Abstract
- A correlational analysis of Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) ratings and measures of inpatient violence in 207 schizophrenic patients is presented. Significant correlations were found between BPRS measures of schizophrenic symptomatology and several measures of inpatient violence including assault. BPRS subscales which related to paranoid symptoms were also significantly correlated with inpatient danger-related measures; however, to a lesser degree.Keywords
