Thomyangkoon P The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale or PANSS is a standardized instrument
for the measurement of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The PANSS was
widely accepted by researchers and was translated into many languages. It is now translated
into Thai, the PANSS-T. The PANSS-T was carefully assessed for its reliability and criterion
validity in relation to the PANSS in Thai schizophrenic patients. The results were satisfactory.
The PANSS-T can now be used by Thai researchers in clinical studies of schizophrenia that
involve the measurement of positive and negative symptoms.
