Exploratory Factor Analysis of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th Edition, Criteria for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Abstract: One change to the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) nomenclature highlighted in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th Edition (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) is the conceptualization of PTSD as a diagnostic category with four distinct symptom clusters. This article presents exploratory factor analysis to test the structural validity of the DSM-5 conceptualization of PTSD via an online survey that included the PTSD Checklist-5. The study utilized a sample of 113 college students from a l… Show more

“…As a structure-detecting method, EFA can be used to examine the underlying construct of the DSM-5 criteria. The inspection of diagnostic criteria using factor analysis techniques has been found to be a valuable approach (Boelen, Spuij, & Lenferink, 2019;Hartwell & Ray, 2018;McSweeney, Koch, Saules, & Jefferson, 2016). The binary data were primarily prepared using an underlying-variable-approach (UVA) by calculating polychoral correlations of each item couple.…”

“…Factor analyses were used to reduce dimensions of TCM syndrome elements and detect the structure among these TCM syndrome elements. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett's test of sphericity were used to evaluate suitability of collected TCM syndrome elements for factor analysis [18]. Principal component analyses were applied to extract common factors [18].…”
