Cross-cultural replication of the five-factor model and comparison of the NEO-PI-R and MMPI-2 PSY-5 scales in a Dutch psychiatric sample.

Abstract

The authors investigated cross-cultural replicability of the five-factor model (FFM) of personality as represented by the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; P. T. Costa & R. R. McCrae, 1992) in a sample of 423 Dutch psychiatric patients. Also, NEO-PI-R domain scales were compared with the Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5; A. R. Harkness & J. L. McNulty, 1994) scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (J. N. Butcher, W. G. Dahlstrom, J. R. Graham, A. Tellegen, & B. Kaemmer, 2002). Principal-components analysis with procrustean rotation confirmed the hypothesized structural similarity of the present sample with the U.S. normative factor scores. All of the hypothesized relations between NEO-PI-R and PSY-5 scales were confirmed. The results provide evidence for cross-cultural replicability of the FFM and for validity of the NEO-PI-R and PSY-5 constructs in the psychological assessment of psychiatric patients.

Predicting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders‐IV personality disorders with the five‐factor model of personality and the personality psychopathology five

“…Consistent with this interpretation, and replicating the results of previous investigations (see e.g. Egger et al, 2003;Trull et al, 1995), we found a greater degree of overlap between the two models in terms of the N and E domains of the NEO PI-R and the negative emotionality and extraversion scales of PSY-5 ( Table 2). The NEO PI-R O, A and C domains, and the PSY-5 psychoticism, aggressiveness and disconstraint scales were associated with less overlap across the two models, and these fi ndings may account for the stronger association between the PSY-5 scales and the paranoid, schizotypal, narcissistic and antisocial PD symptom counts.…”

“…Research examining the retest reliability of the MMPI-2 PSY-5 scales has shown, overall, adequate temporal stability across 6-month to 5-year intervals (Colotla, Bowman, & Shercliffe, 2001;Harkness, McNulty, Ben-Porath, & Graham, 2002a;Trull et al, 1995). Investigations of the MMPI-2 PSY-5 items and scales using confi rmatory factor analytic Egger, De May, Derksen, & van der Staak, 2003;Quilty & Bagby, in press) and item response (Rouse, Finger, & Butcher, 1999) procedures support the fi ve-factor structure of the MMPI-2 PSY-5 items, and verify the capacity of the MMPI-2 PSY-5 scales to distinguish meaningfully 'high scorers' from 'low scorers' on each of the domains, although the interpretation of such distinctions is dependent on the PSY-5 scale in question. The construct validity of the various domains has also been reported in several different studies Harkness et al, 1995;Harkness, Bagby, Levitt, & Joffe, 2002b;Miller, Kaloupek, Dillon, & Keane, 2004b;Quilty & Bagby, in press;Sharpe & Desai 2001;Trull et al 1995;Vendrig, Derksen, & de Mey 2000;Wygant et al, 2006).…”

“…Several studies have indicated that this scale clearly has a dispositional component, as evidenced by large correlations with temperament domains such as Neuroticism and Negative Emotionality (Sellbom & Ben-Porath, 2005 ;Sellbom, Ben-Porath, & Bagby, 2008b ;Simms, Casillas, Clark, Watson, & Doebbeling, 2005 ) , which makes it similar to the PSY-5 NEGE scale (e.g., Bagby, Sellbom, Costa, & Widiger, 2008 ;Harkness, McNulty, Ben-Porath, & Graham, 2002 ) . Several studies have also found that RC7 and NEGE are substantially correlated with symptom inventories or therapist symptom ratings (e.g., Arbisi, Sellbom, & Ben-Porath, 2008 ;Forbey & Ben-Porath, 2008 ;Harkness et al, 2002 ;Sellbom, Ben-Porath, & Bagby, 2008a ) and trait measures of general anxiety (Egger, De May, Derksen, & van der Staak, 2003 ;Forbey & Ben-Porath, 2008 ;Harkness et al, 1995 ;Sellbom et al, 2008b ;Trull, Useda, Costa, & McCrae, 1995 ) . Thus, when RC7 and/ or NEGE are elevated in an MMPI-2 protocol, the individual is very likely to be prone to experience a wide range of negative emotions including anxiety, anger, guilt, and fear.…”

Psychotherapeutische diagnostiek revisited: dupliek op de repliek van Jan Jaspers

“…Voor de klinische schalen (Derksen & De Mey, 1992;Sloore, Derksen, De Mey & Hellensbosch, 1996), de Psychopathology Five (Egger, De Mey, Derksen & Van der Staak, 2003a;2003b;Egger, Delsing & De Mey, 2003), en zeer recentelijk ook voor de RC-schalen (Van der zijn er studies verschenen waarin de parallelliteit van de Amerikaanse en Nederlandse versie is onderzocht. Dit is niet juist.…”
