Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members their own and others' cultures. These perceptions national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a "kernel truth," or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained ratings 3989 49 cultures compared them the average scores culture assessed by observer self-reports. National were reliable but did not converge traits. Perceptions thus appear to unfounded that serve function maintaining identity.
Section 3 of the fifth edition Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders ( DSM-5) includes a hybrid model personality pathology, in which dimensional traits are used to derive one seven categorical disorder diagnoses. The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) was developed by workgroup their consultants produce freely available instrument assess within this new system. To date, psychometric properties PID-5 have been evaluated primarily undergraduate student community adult...
Our aim in the current study was to evaluate convergence between Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) Section III dimensional personality traits, as operationalized via Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), Minnesota Multiphasic 2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) scale scores a psychiatric patient sample. We used sample 346 (171 men, 175 women) patients who were recruited through university-affiliated facility Toronto, Canada. estimated zero-order...
Researchers are increasingly administering tests developed and validated in paper format via the Internet. Yet, equivalence between Internet concerning administration of is not typically demonstrated. We evaluated reliability, factorial external validity, measurement equivalency version 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20; Bagby, Parker, & Taylor, 1994; Lumley et al., 2007) vis-à-vis version. Participants (N = 621) completed TAS-20 either on or paper. Reliability item-to-scale...
In the current investigation, authors examined diagnostic construct validity of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2–Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) in a patient sample. All participants were diagnosed via Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders (SCID-I/P). The data set used this study was composed 544 patients—67 with bipolar disorder, 407 major depressive and 70 schizophrenia. Multivariate analyses revealed pattern mean scale differences among groups that mostly...
Valid self-report assessment of psychopathology relies on accurate and credible responses to test questions. There are some individuals who, in certain contexts, cannot or choose not answer a manner typically representative their traits symptoms. This is referred to, most broadly, as response bias. In this investigation, we explore the effect bias Personality Inventory for DSM–5 (PID–5; Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson, & Skodol, 2013 R. F., J., K. E., D., A. E. (2013). The (PID–5)–Adult...
Abstract. The alexithymia construct is commonly measured with the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), more than 20 different language translations. Despite replication of factor structure, however, it cannot be assumed that observed differences in mean TAS-20 scores can interpreted similarly across languages and cultural groups. It necessary to also demonstrate measurement invariance (MI) for language. aim this study was evaluate MI English French versions using data from 17,866...
In this study our goal was to examine the hierarchical structure of personality pathology as conceptualized by Harkness and McNulty's (1994) Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) model, recently operationalized MMPI-2-RF (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2011) PSY-5r scales. We used Goldberg's (2006) "bass-ackwards" method obtain factor using item data, successively extracting from 1 5 factors in a sample psychiatric patients (n = 1,000) university undergraduate students 1,331). Participants these...
This was an open-label pilot study to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a wearable digital intervention developed improve on-task behavior. exploratory for specificity response on parent- teacher-reported symptom outcomes in attention hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, as well domains functional impairment, including school behavior learning executive function.Participants included 38 children aged 8-12 years with parent-reported past diagnosis ADHD. Following baseline ratings...
There have been a small number of investigations alexithymia in multiple sclerosis (MS) using the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20).However, TAS-20 factor structure has not yet evaluated MS patient sample, and earlier Spanish translations this instrument require some improvement.We aimed to evaluate factorial validity reliability an improved translation (the TAS-20-S).The TAS-20-S was completed by 221 patients.Confirmatory analysis used compare fit six different models.Internal...
The present research examined the amount and kind of personality measured within four sets disorder (PD) scales. Three samples undergraduate students (Ns = 326, 537, 617) completed at least one PD measure a combined interpersonal circumplex model (ICM) five-factor (FFM) measure. FFM dimensions were found to account for between 5% 57% variance in symptomatology depending on employed. Consistent with previous research, Neuroticism low Extraversion often emerged as primary predictors...
International Society for CNS Clinical Trials and Methodology convened an expert working-group that assembled consistency/inconsistency flags the Positive Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Twenty-four were identified divided based on extent to which they represent error (Possibly, Probably, Very probably or definitely). The applied assessments derived from NEWMEDS data repository CATIE clinical trial data. Almost 40% of ratings had at least one inconsistency flag raised 10% two. Application...
Convergence between the MMPI–2 Restructured Form (MMPI–2–RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008) interpersonal scales and 2 circumplex (IPC) measures was examined. University students (N = 405) completed IPC measures, Interpersonal Adjectives Scales Revised Big Five Version (IASR–B5; Trapnell Wiggins, 1990) Inventory of Problems Circumplex (IIP–C; Horowitz, Alden, Pincus, 2000). Internal consistency adequate for 3 6 investigated. The majority were located in their hypothesized locations, although...
This study evaluated the universality of TOMM 2 and provided a reference sample cognitively intact adults living in Spain whose native language was Spanish. A total 203 completed from June 2019 to January 2020. When using original cutoff scores derived English speakers, all participants scored range that would suggest they passed TOMM. cut score less than 40 on Trial 1, only one participant this be mistakenly classified as providing an invalid performance. Spanish-speaking achieved perfect 1...
