“…We included a plethora of measures designed to assess current or persistent signs, symptoms, and characteristic traits of mental disorders, including maladaptive personality traits and measures of personality functioning (see DeYoung et al, 2020, for how maladaptive personality traits are linked to HiTOP). The measures were the Autonomous Functioning Index (AFI; Weinstein et al, 2012), Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD; Frick & Hare, 2001), Baratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS‐11; Patton et al, 1995), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI; Derogatis & Spencer, 1993), Drugs, Alcohol, and Self‐Injury Questionnaire (DASI; Wilkinson et al, 2018), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004), Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES; Bernstein & Putnam, 1986), Experiences in Close Relationships‐Revised (ECR‐R; Fraley et al, 2000), Empathy Quotient (EQ; Baron‐Cohen & Wheelwright, 2004), Green et al Paranoid Thoughts Scale (GPTS; Green et al, 2008), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP‐32; Horowitz et al, 2000), Life History of Aggression (LHA; Coccaro et al, 1997), Other as Shamer Scale (OAS; Goss et al, 1994), Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis: Structure Questionnaire (OPD‐SQ; Ehrenthal et al, 2012), Personality Assessment Inventory – Borderline Scale (PAI‐BOR; Morey, 2014), Personality Assessment Inventory – Antisocial Scale (PAI‐ANT; Morey, 2014), Posttraumatic Stress Checklist Scale – Civilian Version (PCL‐C; Blanchard et al, 1996), Reflective Functioning Questionnaire – Extended 18‐Item Version (RFQ‐18; Rogoff et al, 2021), Standardized Assessment of Personality: Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS; Moran et al, 2003), Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ; Raine, 1991), and Levenson Self‐Report Psychopathy Scale (SRPS; Levenson et al, 1995). For this study, scales were inverted when necessary, so that higher values were geared towards the maladaptive pole of a trait dimension indicating greater severity or impairment in the respective domain.…”
