Abstract
Background:Section III of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) proposes a model for conceptualizing personality disorders in which they are characterized by impairments in personality functioning and maladaptive personality traits. The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is a self-report measure that assesses the presence and severity of these maladaptive personality traits.Objective:The current study examined the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) to measure maladaptive personality traits in the Emirati population of the United Arab Emirates.Methods:The Arabic version of the PID-5 was administered to a community sample of 1,090 United Arab Emirates nationals (89.5% female and 10.5% male, mean age = 22.44 years old). The descriptive measures, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity with NEO – Five Factor Inventory, as well as PID-5’s factor structure, were all addressed.Results:The PID-5facets and domains mean scores were higher in the Emirati sample compared to the original US sample. Internal consistency of the PID-5 scales was acceptable to high and test-retest coefficients ranged from 0.84 (facets) to 0.87 (domains). As expected, the five domains of the Arabic version of the PID-5 correlated significantly with all Five-Factor Model domains of personality. Additionally, the Arabic version of the PID-5 confirmed a five-factor structure that resembles the PID-5 domains.Conclusion:The findings of this study provided initial support for the use of the Arabic version of the PID-5 to assess maladaptive personality traits in the Emirati population of the United Arab Emirates.
Highlights
The findings of this study provided initial support for the use of the Arabic version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) to assess maladaptive personality traits in the Emirati population of the United Arab Emirates
A reflection of this was the inclusion of the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) in Section III of the DSM-5 [5] and more than 200 publications on its main diagnostic criteria: the assessment of impairment in personality function (Criterion A) and the presence of maladaptive personality traits (Criterion B), that followed its publication
The primary measure for the assessment of the AMPD [5] maladaptive traits is provided by The Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5) [6], which is a self-rated inventory that characterizes 25 trait facets organized into five high order domains of personality variation (Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism)
