Abstract

BackgroundWith the publication of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), an alternative model for personality disorders based on personality dysfunction and pathological personality traits was introduced. The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is a 220-item self-report inventory designed to assess the personality traits of this model. Recently, a short 100-item version of the PID-5 (PID-5-SF) has been developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the score reliability and structure of the Norwegian PID-5-SF. Further, criterion validity with the five factor model of personality (FFM) and pathological personality beliefs was examined.MethodsA derivation sample of university students (N = 503) completed the PID-5, the Big Five Inventory (BFI), and the Personality Beliefs Questionnaire – Short Form (PBQ-SF), whereas a replication sample of 127 students completed the PID-5-SF along with the aforementioned measures.ResultsThe short PID-5 showed overall good score reliability and structural validity. The associations with FFM traits and pathological personality beliefs were conceptually coherent and similar for the two forms of the PID-5.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the Norwegian PID-5 short form is a reliable and efficient measure of the trait criterion of the alternative model for personality disorders in DSM-5.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40359-016-0169-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Highlights

With the publication of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), an alternative model for personality disorders based on personality dysfunction and pathological personality traits was introduced
In the revision of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; [3]), the DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders Workgroup developed a model for the diagnosis of personality disorders (PD) based on a dimensional conceptualization to address the criticisms against the categorical approach to personality disorders of the DSM-IV-TR [2]
Criterion B of the DSM-5 Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) comprises 25 pathological personality trait facets that are organized into five broad higher order trait domains (i.e., Negative affectivity, Detachment, Psychoticism, Antagonism, and Disinhibition) [3]

With the publication of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), an alternative model for personality disorders based on personality dysfunction and pathological personality traits was introduced. In the revision of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; [3]), the DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders Workgroup developed a model for the diagnosis of personality disorders (PD) based on a dimensional conceptualization to address the criticisms against the categorical approach to personality disorders of the DSM-IV-TR [2]. A similar model for the diagnosis of PDs based on the assessment of the severity of personality disturbance and five traits domain is proposed for the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, which is due by 2018 [49]
