ABSTRACT
Objective:To test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS).Methods:Totally 166 patients with major depression completed the Chinese version of SHAPS,Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-Ⅰ) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17).The validity was tested by using correlation analysis and exploratory factor analysis.The reliability was tested by using internal consistency coefficient and Pearson correlation analysis.Results:The ICCs between three different Scale score were 0.90 and 0.91(Ps ＜ 0.001).Exploratory factor analysis identified 2 common factors,which explained 62.8％ of total variancel.The Cronbach coefficient of SHAPS was 0.94.The test-retest coefficient was 0.91 (P ＜ 0.001).The intercorrelations of 14 items ranged from 0.30 to 0.93 and item-total correlations ranged from 0.61 to 0.79.Conclusion:The Chinese version of SHAPS has good validity and reliability,it could be used to assess anhedonia in Chinese patients with major depression.
