The ICD-11 personality disorder model is the first fully dimensional assessment of pathology. It consists a (PD) dysfunction-severity dimension, which encompasses both self- and interpersonal dysfunction, six optional qualifiers for five prominent traits—Negative Affectivity (NA), Detachment (DET), Dissociality (DSL), Disinhibition (DSN), Anankastia (ANK)—plus borderline pattern that defined by criteria DSM-IV PD. This article reports on development new self-report measure to assess...
As part of a broader project to create comprehensive self-report measure for the Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology consortium, we developed preliminary scales assess internalizing symptoms. The item pool was created in four steps: (a) clarifying range content be assessed, (b) identifying target constructs guide writing, (c) developing formal definitions each construct, and (d) writing multiple items construct. This yielded 430 assessing 57 constructs. Responses from heterogeneous scale...
Personality pathology is increasingly conceptualized within hierarchical, dimensional trait models. The Comprehensive Assessment of Traits Relevant to Disorders (CAT-PD) a pathological-trait measure with potential improve on currently prevailing instruments because it has wider content coverage; however, its domain-level structure, which scientific and clinical interest, not established. In this study, we investigated the structure construct validity CAT-PD's domain level facilitate use...
Abstract Most studies on depression and personality have focused the role of Neuroticism Extraversion. Openness is a much less studied trait in this literature, as past investigating often found non‐significant correlations between them. However, mostly investigated at domain level used non‐clinical samples. In present study, relationship facet levels was examined sample 266 participants recruited from outpatient psychiatric settings. Findings showed that although significantly related to...
Extraversion shows both negative and positive associations with psychopathology. Previous work in this area has focused largely on either a broad higher order extraversion domain score or specific lower-order facets. The goal of study was to explicate how two intermediate aspects the trait-communal agentic extraversion-relate We examined these relations using Communal (e.g., enjoy spending time people, would describe myself as cheerful, like places that are crowded exciting) Agentic speak my...
Women are predominantly diagnosed with BPD, studies estimating a 3:1 female-to-male diagnostic ratio in clinical settings. Previous present conflicting findings regarding gender-level criterion differences, some indicating differences contradictory criteria. These primarily utilize outpatient samples, highlighting gaps the literature. Thus, current study investigates functioning, and impairment within novel, partial hospital sample. Participants included (a) sample of 1,153 individuals from...
Extensive research has been conducted to isolate features that distinguish bipolar spectrum disorders from unipolar depression. Therefore, we identified latent symptom dimensions are unique versus shared across these by examining the joint structure of hypomanic/manic and depressive symptoms in two large samples (i.e., 647 community adults; 1,370 outpatients with depression or disorder history). Results studies suggested (a) many (e.g., irritability) transdiagnostic, but also (b) such as...
The organization of personality pathology into trait domains (vs. specific disorders) in ICD-11 represents an important shift disorder (PD) nosology. However, to facilitate clinical implementation, a bridge is needed between this system and the DSM-5 Section II familiar many researchers clinicians. In study, individual PD criteria were assigned based on published Clinical Descriptions Diagnostic Requirements. This scoring scheme was examined empirically alongside dimensions (using SIDP...
We examined hierarchical structural models of psychopathology in samples (a) adults recruited online and screened based on history (N = 429) (b) undergraduates 529) to inform classification neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD)- hypomania-relevant dimensions within the Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology (HiTOP). Results differed across some ways, but converged indicate that NDD- aligned closely with different HiTOP spectra. For example, (e.g., affective lability) overlapped strongly...
Consensual facet structures help to unify a highly fractured personality literature, but mask information obtained from unique facets assessed by individual inventories. The current study identifies the consensual and of neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness based on analyses five widely used inventories (Disinhibition Inventory-I [DIS-I], Faceted Inventory for Five-Factor model [FI-FFM], HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised [HEXACO-PI-R], NEO Inventory-3 [NEO-PI-3], Temperament...
We examined the validity of self-report measures narcissism and mania by relating them to interview-based ratings psychopathology. Narcissism scales were taken from Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), Diagnostic Questionnaire–4+, Short Dark Triad. Mania included Altman Self-Rated Scale (ASRM) Hypomanic (HPS) Expanded Version Depression Anxiety Symptoms. Our analyses addressed two key issues. The first issue was whether these demonstrated significant criterion (e.g., HPS correlated...
Personality pathology is increasingly conceptualized within hierarchical, dimensional trait models. The Comprehensive Assessment of Traits Relevant to Disorders (CAT-PD; Simms et al., 2011) a pathological-trait measure with potential improve on currently prevailing instruments because it has wider content coverage; however, its domain-level structure, which scientific and clinical interest, not established. In this pre-registered study, we investigated the structure construct validity...
