“…In the course of devising this taxonomy, members of the DSM-5 Work Group on Personality and Personality Disorders developed a self-and informant-report instrument for assessing the 25 trait facets: the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5; Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson, & Skodol, 2012;. A growing body of research shows that the PID-5 is a psychometrically sound measure of the DSM-5 trait model, and that it is meaningfully related to a range of well-established constructs, such as general personality traits (Ashton, Lee, de Vries, Hendrickse, & Born, 2012;de Fruyt et al, 2013;Gore & Widiger, 2013;Markon et al, 2013;Quilty, Ayearst, Chmielewski, Pollock, & Bagby, 2013;Thomas et al, 2013;Watson, Stasik, Ro, & Clark, 2013), alternative conceptualizations of maladaptive personality traits (Anderson et al, 2013;van den Broeck et al, 2013;Watson et al, 2013), the DSM-IV PDs Samuel, Hopwood, Krueger, Thomas, & Ruggero, 2013), interpersonal problems , pathological beliefs , pathological narcissism (Miller, Gentile, Wilson, & Campbell, 2013;Wright et al, 2013), and psychopathy (Strickland, Drislane, Lucy, Krueger, & Patrick, 2013). The aim of the present study is to build on and extend these findings by investigating the structure and correlates of DSM-5 maladaptive personality traits in two German-speaking samples.…”
