Method In this cross-sectional study (the UP’S study), we used measures functioning assess cohort people with disorder. PR was measured using Recovering Quality Life (ReQOL) Individual Outcomes (I.ROC). assessed two forms assessment. The Behavioral Rating Inventory Executive Functioning Adult version (BRIEF-A) self-rated functioning, Tower London (TOL) performance-based functioning. Regression models were calculated (BRIEF-A TOL) (ReQOL I.ROC). Model selection based on Wald test. Results included data 260 participants. While total scores BRIEF-A had small negative association those ReQOL (? = ?0.28, P > .001) I.ROC ?0.41, .001), TOL not significantly associated 0.03, .76) 0.17, 0.17). Conclusion Self-reported EF, which accomplishment goal pursuit real life PR. However, processing efficiency cognitive control by EF not.
