“…As Clifton et al (2004) note, each filters reality through a different lens, in which observers usually have access only to overt behavior and not to the internal state of the targeted person. Here, clinicians are in quite a different position, but they are not immune to idiosyncrasies and self-fulfilling properties that could bias their focus on information consistent with their expectations (Dallas & Baron, 1985).…”

Interpersonal problems: self‐therapist agreement and therapist consensus

2010

This study investigated patient-therapist agreement and therapist consensus of patients' interpersonal problems. The sample comprised 199 patients, who answered a questionnaire addressing interpersonal problems. At the same time, each patient was rated by two therapists on an observer version of the same questionnaire. The participants came from 10 different treatment units within the Norwegian Network of Personality-Focused Treatment Programs. Interpersonal problems were measured by a short version of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex (IIP-C). The results of both patient-therapist agreements and therapist consensus of patients' interpersonal problems was low to moderate. The therapists perceived the patients to have somewhat higher levels of interpersonal problems than the patients reported, although the profile similarity between self-reports and observer reports was high. Some gender differences were revealed, but in terms of self-therapist agreement, no interaction with the therapists' length of clinical experience or acquaintance with the patient was found.

“…The study was approved by the human subject committees at both the university and Wilford Hall Medical Center (Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, TX). Additional details about the study and our assessment procedures have been reported elsewhere [17][18][19]. All recruits signed informed consent statements before participation.…”

We examined the joint interview interrater reliability of the Structured Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Personality Disorders (SIDP-IV) in 433 non-treatment-seeking military recruits. Reliability was computed for the diagnosis of a specific personality disorder (PD) and for the number of PD criteria present, and computed using a dimensional score. Reliability increased when PDs were computed using dimensional scores rather than categorical scores. Avoidant and dependent PDs demonstrated the highest interrater reliability, whereas schizoid and schizotypal showed the lowest. This large sample allowed us to perform item-level analyses of the SIDP-IV. Interrater reliability for each of the PD criteria was generally more than 0.70, with the notable exception of criteria scored through observation only. Overall, the SIDP-IV demonstrated good reliability in a non-treatment-seeking population.

“…It was also found that aggregate ratings by multiple informants correlated higher with observed behaviour than did self-ratings, thus, yielding more accurate information (Kolar, Funder, & Colvin, 1996;Meyer, 2002;Oltmanns & Turkheimer, 2006). Instead of treating discrepancies between self-reports and informant reports as unwanted error to be minimized or to discuss which one is more valid, Clifton, Turkheimer, and Oltmanns (2004) recommended to examine the content of disagreement. Exploration of content is one of the foci of the current study.…”

The feasibility of the use of multiple informant reports in clinical practice was examined in a sample of 105 psychiatric outpatients who provided self-ratings and (2-3) informants' reports on the Five Factor Personality Inventory. The response rate was 97%. The patients assessed themselves as less extraverted and more emotionally stable than their proxies did. In addition, the significance of self-other disagreement was investigated. Our first hypothesis, stating that self-other disagreement would correlate with (personality) pathology, was confirmed: self-other disagreement predominantly occurred in introverted, shy, hostile and depressed persons who tended to have more personality problems and co-morbidity. We found no support for our second hypothesis, stating that self-other disagreement would predict a diminished therapy effect. An important finding, however, was that self-other disagreement proved to be a strong predictor of dropout. Furthermore, a decrease in depression, hostility and shyness was positively correlated with a decrease in self-other disagreement.
