We examined the relationship between a researcher-rated and a self-report method of insight assessment in @entity1 with @entity161 . Previous research has established that a moderate correlation exists between several researcher-rated and self-report insight scales. Hence, we wanted to investigate this association using another combination of assessment techniques. Accordingly, 34 @entity1 with chronic @entity161 were administered the Scale to Assess Unawareness of @entity146 (SUMD) and the Birchwood self-report Insight Scale (IS). We found a significantly lower report of insight on the Birchwood IS, regardless of administration order. These findings suggest that inherent bias within the @entity1 -examiner interaction may be responsible for this discrepancy. Overall, a significant positive correlation was observed between total scores on the SUMD and the Birchwood self-report IS. Unexpectedly, there was a remarkable difference in correlation with respect to the order of test administration. The "self-report first" group's scores were strongly correlated, whereas the "researcher-rated first" group's scores showed little relation. These results demonstrate the importance of investigating the effects of administration order, and also question the reliability of other correlational studies between researcher-rated and self-report insight scales that have failed to employ a counterbalanced research design.
