The Psychometric Properties of the French Version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5

Abstract

In the context of the publication of DSM-5, the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) has been proposed as a new dimensional assessment tool for personality disorders. This instrument includes a pool of 220 items organized around 25 facets included in a five-factor second-order domain structure. The examination of the replicability of the trait structure across methods and populations is of primary importance. In view of this need, the main objective of the current study was to validate the French version of the PID-5 among French-speaking adults from a European community sample (N=2,532). In particular, the assumption of unidimensionality of the 25 facet and the five domain scales was tested, as well as the extent to which the five-factor structure of the PID-5 and the DSM-5 personality trait hierarchical structure are replicated in the current sample. The results support the assumption of unidimensionality of both the facets and the domains. Exploratory factor and hierarchical analyses replicated the five-factor structure as initially proposed in the PID-5.

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 …”

“…The proposed five‐factor structure of all 25 DSM‐5 trait facets was generally replicated in the present study, including the domain of Psychoticism. However, the DSM‐5 model appeared inadequate in regard to specific deviating patterns of loadings, which, nevertheless, may be considered as meaningful: The substantial loading of Distractibility on Negative Affectivity (instead of Disinhibition) has also been identified in previous findings (e.g p. 780).…”

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).…”

“…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.…”

The psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Personality Inventory for DSM‐5

“…Since the PID‐5 was published, a vast body of research on its psychometric properties has increased exponentially (Al‐Dajani, Gralnick & Bagby, ; Krueger & Markon, ). The PID‐5 has also been recently translated into a number of different languages including Italian (Fossati, Krueger, Markon, Borroni & Maffei, ), Dutch (De Fruyt, De Clercq, De Bolle, Wille, Markon & Krueger, ; De Clercq, De Fruyt, De Bolle, Van Hiel, Markon & Krueger, ), German (Zimmermann, Altenstein, Krieger et al ., ), French (Roskam, Galdiolo, Hansenne et al ., ), Danish (Bach, Maples‐Keller, Bo & Simonsen, ) and Arabic (Al‐Attiyah, Megreya, Alrashidi, Dominguez‐Lara & Al‐Sheerawi, ). Although the majority of the above studies were conducted in western countries, the last study mentioned draws attention to the relevance of the study of cultural influence on psychopathology, particularly on PD whose diagnostic criteria refer explicitly to patterns of inner experience and behavior that diverge plainly from what is expected of the individual's culture.…”
