“…Moreover, a joint factor analysis showed empirical convergence between components of the DAPP-BQ and the four dimensions of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (11), an instrument used to assess the DSM-5 trait model (12). Evidence for the strong psychometric qualities and clinical validity of the DAPP-BQ is well established (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20).…”

Background: A growing body of research recognizes the occurrence and validity of personality pathology during adolescence as well as its relevance as a developmental precursor of adult personality pathology. Objective: The present study recognizes the need for a comprehensive and concise instrument to assess the dimensions of personality pathology in adolescents. Therefore, the psychometric qualities of an abbreviated version of the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Pathology -Basic Questionnaire for Adolescents (DAPP-BQ-A), which has been denoted as the DAPP -Short Form for Adolescents (DAPP-SF-A), were examined. Method: The factorial structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, discriminative validity, and classification accuracy of the DAPP-SF-A scales were examined in three samples: 1596 non-referred adolescents; 166 adolescents referred to inpatient and outpatient mental health services; and 58 referred and general population adolescents. Results: Despite a reduction in the number of items by 50% (from 290 to 144 items), the promising psychometric qualities established for the DAPP-BQ-A were replicated for the DAPP-SF-A. Conclusions:The results of this study are promising regarding the qualities of the DAPP-SF-A and its utility in both clinical and research settings. In addition, the equivalence of the instruments for adolescents and (young) adults enables the investigation of developmental trajectories across different life stages.

“…This suggests that single personality traits are not to fully explain the variability observed in vulnerability to stress (Hennig, 2004) and that a combination of behavioral traits might better predict an individual's vulnerability to develop depression-like alterations following chronic stress. In fact, other personality traits, such as impulsive sensation seeking, aggression, activity or sociability, have also been shown to be associated with an individual's susceptibility to depression (Ball, 1995;Wang et al, 2004). Cortisol studies have further confirmed the biological significance of these traits (Ballenger et al, 1983;Mazur, 1995;Gunnar et al, 1997;Rosenblitt et al, 2001) and there have been a few studies that successfully linked some of these traits -e.g., impulsive sensation seeking -with hippocampal function (Pickering, 2004).…”

Summary Emerging evidence indicates that certain behavioral traits, such as anxiety, are associated with the development of depression-like behaviors after exposure to chronic stress. However, single traits do not explain the wide variability in vulnerability to stress observed in outbred populations. We hypothesized that a combination of behavioral traits might provide a better characterization of an individual's vulnerability to prolonged stress. Here, we sought to determine whether the characterization of relevant behavioral traits in rats could aid in identifying individuals with different vulnerabilities to developing stress-induced depressionlike behavioral alterations. We also investigated whether behavioral traits would be related to the development of alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and in brain activityas measured through phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) -in response to an acute stressor following either sub-chronic (2 weeks) or chronic (4 weeks) unpredictable stress (CUS). Sprague-Dawley rats were characterized using a battery of behavioral tasks, and three principal traits were identified: anxiety, exploration and activity. When combined, the first two traits were found to explain the variability in the stress responses. Our findings confirm the increased risk of animals with high anxiety developing certain depression-like behaviors (e.g., increased floating time in the forced swim test) when progressively exposed to stress. In contrast, the behavioral profile based on combined low anxiety and low exploration was resistant to alterations related to social behaviors, while the high anxiety and low exploration profile displayed a particularly vulnerable pattern of physiological and neurobiological responses after sub-chronic stress exposure. Our findings indicate important differences in

“…Different cross-cultural studies have endorsed the universality of the alternative five factors (Aluja, Rossier, García, Angleitner, Kuhlman, & Zuckerman, 2006;Rossier, Aluja, García, Angleitner, De Pascalis, Wang, Kuhlman & Zuckerman, 2007;Wu, Wang, Du, Jianh & Wang, 2000). The ZKPQ has also showed strong relationships with the DSM-IV Personality Disorders (Aluja, García, Cuevas & García, 2007, Wang, Du, Wang, Livesley, & Jang, 2004.…”

Esta es la versión de autor del artículo publicado en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in: Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore the relationships of the dimensions and facets of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire (ZKA-PQ) with others psychobiological personality measures as the EPQ-RS (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised, shortened version), I7 (Impulsiveness Questionnaire) and SPSRQ-20 (Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire, 20-item version). It is intended to test if findings reported with Zuckerman's previous instrument (ZKPQ) about the relationships between the three biologic-factorial personality models are replicated, giving evidences about the validity of the ZKA-PQ. The sample analyzed was of 584 subjects (50.3 % men and 49.7 % women) from the Spanish general population. Correlational and factor analysis supported the expected relationships between similar constructs assessed by the ZKA-PQ and the other questionnaires based on Eysenck's and Gray's personality theories. On the other hand, the inclusion of the facets from the ZKA-PQ improved the validity of the questionnaire. Findings were discussed in the framework of the biological personality models, emphasizing the contribution of the ZKA-PQ to the psychobiological personality research, including personality disorders.Dear Sir/Madam:We are pleased to submit the manuscript entitled: "Analysis of the ZuckermanKuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire (ZKA-PQ) and its relationship with Eysenck's and Gray's personality models", for consideration at Personality an Individual Differernces.Yours sincerely, Anton Aluja University of Lleida (Spain ) Count: 4913 (abstract+text+references+tables)This manuscript has not been submitted to another journal.
