The Construct Validity of the Dutch Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Personality Disorders (PID-5) in a Clinical Sample

Abstract

The factor structure and the convergent validity of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), a self-report questionnaire designed to measure personality pathology as advocated in the fifth edition, Section III of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), are already demonstrated in general population samples, but need replication in clinical samples. In 240 Flemish inpatients, we examined the factor structure of the PID-5 by means of exploratory structural equation modeling. Additionally, we investigated differences in PID-5 higher order domain scores according to gender, age and educational level, and explored convergent and discriminant validity by relating the PID-5 with the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Pathology-Basic Questionnaire and by comparing PID-5 scores of inpatients with and without a DSM-IV categorical personality disorder diagnosis. Our results confirmed the original five-factor structure of the PID-5. The reliability and the convergent and discriminant validity of the PID-5 proved to be adequate. Implications for future research are discussed.

Structure of DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 personality domains in Iranian community sample

“…The proposed five‐factor structure of all 16 designated ICD‐11 trait facets was generally replicated in the present study, including the separate domain of Anankastia. However, the ICD‐11 model appeared inadequate in regard to specific deviating loading patterns, which, nevertheless, may be viewed as rather meaningful: The strong loading of Callousness on Detachment (instead of Dissociality) is consistent with previous findings related to Detachment vs. Antagonism (e.g …”

Unidimensionality of the personality inventory for DSM‐5 facets: Evidence from two Czech‐speaking samples

“…While Zimmermann et al . experienced problems with the fit of the disinhibition factor in the German clinical subsample, in the sample of 240 Flemish inpatients, Bastiaens et al fully replicated the original PID‐5 factor structure reported by Krueger et al . With regard to both mentioned studies conducted in non‐US samples, we expect confirmation of the original PID‐5 factor structure.…”

The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Short Form (PID-5-SF): psychometric properties and association with big five traits and pathological beliefs in a Norwegian population

“…However, these deviations have previously been observed in studies on the PID-5. Rigid perfectionism has repeatedly shown to load on Negative affectivity [12, 13, 15, 34, 43, 55]. In the Wright and Simms [55] study on the PID-5 and related measures, Perseveration loaded on Disinhibition almost as high as on Negative affectivity (.35 and .37, respectively).…”

“…In the Wright and Simms [55] study on the PID-5 and related measures, Perseveration loaded on Disinhibition almost as high as on Negative affectivity (.35 and .37, respectively). With regard to Suspiciousness, Bastiaens et al [12, 13] found that this facet loaded nearly equally high on Psychoticism, Negative affectivity and Detachment. As in the present study, Attention seeking loaded about equally high on Detachment (low) and Antagonism in the investigation by Wright and Simms [55].…”

“…The PID-5 has been translated into several languages, including Spanish [26], French [43], German [59], Danish [15], Dutch [12], and Norwegian [50]. In a previous study [47], the Norwegian version of the original 220 items PID-5 showed adequate to high internal consistency with alphas ranging from .72 (Irresponsibility) to .95 (Eccentricity) in a university student sample.…”
