Psychometric Properties of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 in a Romanian Community Sample

Abstract

The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) evaluates 25 maladaptive personality traits proposed in the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders. The questionnaire has been extensively investigated and validated in several languages. The current research sought to examine the psychometric properties of the instrument in a sample of nonclinical Romanian participants (N = 1276). Results indicated excellent internal consistency for the domain level, and very good reliability for the facet level. The assumption of unidimensionality was supported at both the domain and facet levels, apart from Risk Taking. Two domain scoring methods were also compared. One of them takes into consideration all the 25 lower order facets, whereas the other uses only 15 facets. Results show that mean differences across the two scoring methods were small, except for Disinhibition. Moreover, confirmatory factor analyses revealed slightly better fit indices for the model which uses 15 facets only. Lastly, the hierarchical structure of maladaptive personality traits was explored. Results are discussed in the light of previous literature.

Romanian Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS-II)

“…The IDAS-II has shown considerable evidence of reliability and validity across various samples, including children, adolescents, and older adults (Stasik-O'Brien et al, 2019;Weitzner et al, 2020;Cervin et al, 2023). The Romanian version of the IDAS-II accompanies other studies aimed at adapting HiTOP model to the Romanian population (Lozovanu et al, 2019;Constantin et al, 2021). Watson et al (2007) developed the first version of the IDAS (IDAS-I), which included 11 scales aimed at assessing specific depressive and anxiety symptoms consistent with the HiTOP.…”

Psychometric Proprieties of a Romanian Inventory (ETPduo) Designed to Assess Personality Disorders Based on the DSM-5 and the ICD-10: Evidence for Reliability and Validity in Nonclinical Samples

“…The questionnaire was shown to have a replicable factor structure, good convergent and discriminant validity, as well as internal consistency at both the trait and domain levels (Al-Dajani et al, 2016). The PID-5 was also recently translated into Romanian and validated on a Romanian community sample by Constantin et al (2021).…”

“…Some other tools for assessing various psychopathological traits are also available. For example, the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) (Krueger et al, 2012) has been recently translated and adapted into Romanian (Constantin et al, 2021) and could be used to evaluate 25 maladaptive personality dimensions, in a quantitative manner, in contrast to the categorical approach of DSM model (Krueger & Hobbs, 2020).…”
