Factor Structure of Items from the Personality Adjective Check List in a Sample of Normal Adolescents

Abstract: We present the results of a principal-components analysis of the Personality Adjective Check List (PACL) at the item level, rather than at the scale level. The PACL was constructed by Strack (1987) to evaluate the personality scales proposed by Millon (1981). Data were obtained from a sample of normal adolescents. A scree test was applied to determine the number of factors to be extracted, and the retained factors were then rotated using a varimax procedure. Using the data from this second analysis, congruence… Show more

We examined the factorial structure of the Dutch version of the Personality Adjective Checklist (PACL-D) in a Belgian sample of 3,012 community-dwelling adults. Exploratory factor analyses revealed a 5-factor structure (Neurotic, Aggressive/Dominant, Introverted vs. Extraverted, Conscientious, and Cooperative), that showed considerable overlap with 3 of the Big Five factors (i.e., Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness). Moreover, the 5-factor structure closely resembled the structure found in the original American PACL and was equivalent across gender and age.

RESUMO -O presente estudo teve como objetivos: (1) produzir uma versão brasileira do Personality Adjective Check List (PACL), um instrumento para avaliação da personalidade baseado nos estilos saudáveis e patológicos de personalidade propostos por Millon, (2) verificar evidências de validade do instrumento por meio da análise fatorial dos itens (estrutura interna) e por meio da relação com variáveis externas, e (3) investigar a consistência interna do instrumento. Brazilian Version of the Personality Assessment Check List (PACL) ValidationABSTRACT -This paper aimed: (1) to produce a Brazilian version of the Personality Adjective Check List (PACL), a test for personality assessment based on normal version styles proposed by Millon´s personality disorders theory, (2) to verify validity evidence of the instrument by means of a factorial analysis (internal structure) and of the relationship with external variables, and (3) to investigate internal consistency of the scales. Participants were 203 undergraduate students, aged from 18 to 50 years old, 98 men and 105 women. It was found five factors in accordance with previous research on PACL. The reliability coefficients of the original factors ranged from 0,66 to 0,95. The results suggest that the PACL has adequate psychometric properties.Keywords: personality assessment; personality disorders; scale validity. É comum que clínicos e pesquisadores sejam treinados para procurar por patologias em seus pacientes, contudo, não necessariamente são treinados para investigar os aspectos saudáveis desses pacientes. Atualmente, avanços recentes nas teorias de saúde mental, especialmente no que se refere ao tratamento, têm oferecido grande suporte para os profissionais na estruturação de planejamento para além da psicopatologia (Strack, 2005).Tais mudanças no paradigma da saúde mental podem ser visualizadas em teorias da personalidade que consideram os aspectos saudáveis e patológicos do funcionamento como pontos distintos de um mesmo continuum. A teoria da personalidade de Theodore Millon (Millon & Davis, 1996;Strack, 1987) propõe que estilos saudáveis e estilos patológicos da personalidade se relacionam e se distinguem, e, portanto, se encontram em diferentes pontos, mas de um mesmo continuum, e não em categorias diferentes. O que justifica e fundamenta essa proposta teórica é que ambos os modelos de personalidade, patológico e saudável, emergem das mesmas fontes e variáveis (Davis, 1999;Millon & Davis, 1996).A teoria de Millon (Millon & Davis, 1996) propõe três eixos -prazer/dor, ativo/passivo e outro/eu -como base das personalidades saudável e patológica. Os estilos da personalidade, compreendidos em termos de modos de enfrentamento designados a maximizar reforçamentos e evitar punições, emergem a partir do eixo ativo-passivo com quatro estratégias de reforçamento -desprendido, dependente, independente e ambivalente. Assim, são derivados oito estilos básicos da personalidade (Introvertido, Inibido, Cooperativo, Sociável, Confiante, Enérgico, Respeitoso e Sensível) e três va...
