“…Recent meta-analytic investigations report fairly high-global prevalence rates for PDs (ranging from 7.8% to 12.16%; Winsper et al, 2020), and have revealed high levels of heterogeneity in prevalence rates across countries. Environmental and sociocultural factors are believed to contribute to variations in the development, expression, and maintenance of personality pathology (see Turner et al, 2020), but few large-scale global studies of these effects have been conducted (e.g., Huang et al, 2009). However, sociocultural factors have been shown to account for country-level differences in variables related to self- and interpersonal functioning, including self-construal (Markus & Kitayama, 2010), personality traits (McCrae & Terracciano, 2005), and attachment styles (van IJzendoorn & Kroonenberg, 1988).…”

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-fifth Edition's (DSM-5) Level of Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS) was introduced as a dimensional rating of impairments in self-and interpersonal functioning, and the LPFS-Brief Form (LPFS-BF) was the first published corresponding self-report. The updated LPFS-BF 2.0 has been translated into several languages and international research supports many of the instrument's psychometric properties; however, its measurement invariance has only been evaluated across a few countries. This study expands previous studies as an introductory step in a global evaluation of the LPFS-BF 2.0s measurement invariance. Archival data (N = 5,618, 57% female) from seven countries (

“…These are putatively chronic, lifelong conditions consisting of ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that lead to self or interpersonal impairment. Childhood maltreatment has been linked with the likelihood of developing PDs (for a review, see Turner et al, 2020), particularly borderline PD (Fossati et al, 1999). PDs, in turn, are also significantly associated with IPA (e.g., South et al, 2008).…”

The goal of the current study was to examine the early childhood roots of adult personality pathology and intimate partner aggression in later life. Childhood maltreatment is associated with perpetration of intimate partner aggression (IPA) in adulthood, although the effect is generally only small to moderate in size. Childhood maltreatment is also linked with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) personality disorders (PDs) in adulthood, which in turn are correlated with IPA in adult romantic relationships. This suggests that one pathway by which childhood maltreatment leads to adult IPA is through maladaptive personality patterns. In the current analyses, data from 495 older, racially diverse adults and their romantic partners recruited from the St. Louis Personality and Aging Network (SPAN) study were used to examine whether childhood maltreatment may impact adult IPA through adult personality pathology. Findings from structural equation modeling demonstrated that for most of the 10 DSM-5 PD (Section II) constructs, there was a significant indirect effect from childhood maltreatment to IPA in later life through a latent variable of personality pathology. Our findings confirm that IPA does occur among romantic partners in later life, that it is robustly associated with personality pathology traits in later life, and that personality pathology in later life may have its roots in early neglect and maltreatment.
