“…This study aimed to test the factorial and discriminant validity of ICD-11 CPTSD within a Korean representative community sample exposed to ACEs, and to examine the risk factors and clinical symptoms associated with CPTSD symptom classes. We hypothesized that the six-factor correlated factor model and the two-factor higher-order model would provide acceptable model fit for the latent structure of the ICD-11 CPTD symptoms measured by the ITQ, as previous studies had shown that these two models yielded good fit (e. g., Ben-Ezra et al, 2018;Choi, Kim, & Lee, 2020;Cloitre et al, 2018;Ho et al, 2019;Karatzias et al, 2016;Owczarek et al, 2020), with six-factor correlated model generally showing better fit in community populations. We also hypothesized that LCA would reveal distinctive classes of CPTSD, PTSD, low-symptom, and an additional class, such as the low PTSD-high DSO class (e.g., Ben-Ezra et al, 2018;Knefel et al, 2015), or the affect dysregulation class (e.g., Liddell et al, 2019;Perkonigg et al, 2016), identified in community sample studies.…”
