Synthetic metacognition is a heterogeneous construct related to psychotic disorders. One important tool to assess this construct is the Metacognition Assessment Scale – Abbreviated (MAS-A). In this study, we investigated the latent structure as well as the interrater reliability and convergent and incremental validity of the MAS-A in a sample of patients with non-affective psychosis. Analyses indicated that the scale might be one-dimensional. Interrater reliability of the MAS-A total score was good. In terms of convergent validity, correlational analyses showed significant associations of MAS-A metacognition with the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis Level of Structural Integration Axis (OPD-LSIA) and the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS). In terms of construct validity, a significant association was observed between MAS-A metacognition and a short version of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (MINI-ICF), which persisted after self-report measures of impairments in structural capacities (Structure Questionnaire of Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis [OPD-SQS]) and mentalizing abilities (Mentalization Questionnaire [MZQ]) were included as covariates, but not after symptom dimensions were included. There was a significant correlation with the current living situation, but not with other external criteria like diagnosis or duration of illness. Future studies should explore alternative outcomes and replicate results in longitudinal designs.
