“…The Differentiation of Self Inventory (Skowron & Schmitt, 2003) is a 46-item, self-report measure of differentiation of self in adulthood and is grounded in BFST (Bowen, 1978;Kerr & Bowen, 1988). The four subscales of the DSI-R are as follows.…”

“…Originally comprising 43 items, it underwent revisions (Skowron & Schmitt, 2003) to strengthen its subscale, Fusion with Others, which resulted in a 46-item revised DSI.The DSI is arguably the most recognised and widely used measure of differentiation of self from a BFST perspective (Licht & Chabot, 2006;. A search of PsyInfo from the period of 1980 to 2010, showed that approximately half of the published research on differentiation relies on it to operationalize the construct .…”

“…Further, psychometrically-sound versions of the DSI exist in English, Chinese (Lam & Chan-So, 2010), French, Russian, and Portuguese, whereas a Spanish-language version of the DSI has been missing . For these reasons, we selected the DSI (Skowron & Schmitt, 2003) as the most suitable questionnaire focused on measuring differentiation of self to translate for use with Spanish-language populations as a necessary tool for furthering research and practice informed by Bowen theory. In this study, we undertook rigorous translation of the 46-item DSI into Spanish, conducted individual item analyses and subjected items to an Exploratory Factor Analyses, and followed with cross-validation in a new sampleusing Confirmatory Factor Analysis to replicate the factor structure identified.…”

This study introduces the Spanish Differentiation of Self Inventory(S-DSI) version, a 26 item measure, consisting of 2 subscales-Emotional Reactivity and Emotional Cutoff-focusing on adults (ages 25+) and their significant relationships, including current relations with family of origin.Translation of DSI into Spanish was conducted using a back translation method, with two independent teams for translation into Spanish and back-translation into English. A sample of 1047 adult men and women (living in Spain, native Spanish speakers) completed the Spanish-DSI scale and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on a randomly selected half of the sample, and results yielded a two subscalesolution that closely conformed with the original DSI's Emotional Reactivity and Emotional Cutoff scales. Results of a confirmatory factor analysis cross-validated the measure's factor structure in the remaining sample. Implications for cross-cultural research and culturally-informed study of Bowen theory in Spanish populations are further discussed. Keywords: cross-cultural research, family systems theory, Hispanic families, instrument validation, family assessment measure. ResumenEste trabajo presenta la versión española del Differentiation of Self Inventory (S-DSI), un instrumento de 26 ítems, con dos subescalas -Reactividad Emocional y Corte Emocional-, orientado a población adulta (mayores de 25 años) y al estudio de sus relaciones significativas, lo que incluye las relaciones con la familia de origen y las actuales. La traducción del DSI-R al español se realizó a través del método de traducción inversa, con dos equipos de traducción independientes para la traducción al español y la traducción inversa al inglés. Una muestra de 1047 mujeres y hombres adultos (residentes en España y con el español como lengua nativa) cumplimentaron la traducción española del DSI-R y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. Se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial exploratorio con la mitad de la muestra seleccionada al azar. Sus resultados conducen a un modelo de dos subescalas que corresponden en gran medida con las subescalas originales Emotional Reactivity y Emotional Cutoff del DSI-R. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio realizado con la otra mitad de la muestra corroboran esta estructura factorial. Se discuten finalmente las implicaciones para la investigación transcultural y para el estudio culturalmente fundamentado de la Teoría de Bowen en poblaciones de habla española.

“…In the current study, internal consistency for the full-scale was found to strong with a Cronbach's alpha of .87. Skowron and Schmitt (2003) found that internal consistency was moderately strong, ranging from .81 to .89, and that full scale consistency was strong with a Cronbach's alpha of .92. Construct validity is indicated by relationship found between DSI scores and less symptomatology as well as less chronic anxiety (Skowron & Friedlander, 1998).…”

“…Para além disso, fez-se uma análise de clusters no grupo de jogadores patológicos. Adicionalmente aos instrumentos referidos no Estudo 1, utilizaram-se os seguintes: Escala de Avaliação da Satisfação em Áreas da Vida Conjugal (EASAVIC) (Narciso & Costa, 1996), Escala de Congruência (CS) (Lee, 2002b;versão portuguesa de Cunha, Silva, & Relvas, 2014), Inventário de Diferenciação do Self -Revisto (DSI-R) (Skowron & Schmitt, 2003;versão portuguesa de Major, Rodríguez-González, Miranda, Rousselot, & Relvas, 2014) e seis questões independentes que avaliam os aspetos transgeracionais e relativos ao contexto social (aceitação e acessibilidade) supramencionados. Os resultados indicam que, embora os dois grupos de jogadores não patológicos apresentem diferentes níveis de gravidade quanto ao seu jogo, não se diferenciam estatisticamente um do outro, sugerindo que os problemas relacionados com o jogo apenas são evidentes quando se atinge o nível patológico.…”

Jogo patológico em 3D: variáveis familiares, conjugais e individuais Autor(es):Cunha, Diana; Fonseca, Gabriela; Relvas, Ana Paula 3D Pathological gambling: Family, marital and individual variables AbstractThis work integrates and articulates the main results of the project "Pathological gambling in 3D: Family, marital and individual variables", presented in five scientific articles. The results show that pathological gamblers are a heterogeneous group with different severities of the gambling problem, revealing a positive relationship between increasing severity of pathological gambling and the amount and intensity of individual, marital and family difficulties associated. The order in which these difficulties appear seems to put family difficulties and differentiation of the self in the last place and marital and individual difficulties in the first one. There is little consensus regarding the marriage and family areas between gambler(s) and their spouse(s), whereby the perspective of the former is less marked by deficit or more optimistic than the latter's. The articulation of these data has led to a comprehensive reflection on the theme, systematized by the reformulation of the Integrative Systemic Model of Pathological Gambling.Keywords: pathological gambling; family; couple; individual 24Diana Cunha, Gabriela Fonseca e Ana Paula Relvas ResumoEste trabalho integra e articula os principais resultados do projeto "Jogo patológico em 3D: Variáveis familiares, conjugais e individuais", dispersos por cinco artigos científicos.
