Popis: The Magical Ideation Scale (MIS), Perceptual Aberration Scale (PABS), Social Anhedonia Scale (SAS), and Physical Anhedonia Scale (PAS) were administered to 98 relatives of schizophrenic patients along with a measure of personality disorders (the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire--Revised). Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the schizotypal and borderline personality disorder (PD) scales explained significant variance in both the MIS and PABS; the avoidant PD scale also explained significant variance in the PABS. The schizoid, paranoid, and avoidant PD scales explained significant variance in the SAS. Sibling intraclass correlations indicated a significant heritability of 0.62 for the PABS.
