Revision of the Criticism Avoidance dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory

Abstract The aim of this study was to revise the Criticism Avoidance dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventoryand to investigate its psychometric properties. The participants included 213 subjects aged 18 to 69 years(Mean = 25.56; Standard Deviation = 8.70), mostly females (N = 159; 74.3%). All participants answered the DimensionalClinical Personality Inventory and the Brazilian versions of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and the PersonalityInventory for DSM-5. A total of 470 new items were developed and selected using content analysis, and 39 itemscomposed the final version. Based on the parallel analysis and factor analysis, three interpretable factors were found.The internal consistency coefficients showed adequate levels of reliability ranging between 0.80 and 0.91 for thefactors. Additionally, expected correlations were found between the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory and theother tests. The present study demonstrated the adequacy of the dimension revised to assess pathological characteristicsof the avoidant personality functioning.

REVIEW AND VERIFICATION OF THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE MOOD INSTABILITY DIMENSION OF THE DIMENSIONAL CLINICAL PERSONALITY INVENTORY

The present study aimed to review the Mood Instability dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory (DCPI) and to examine its psychometric properties. To this end, new items were developed that were applied to 230 subjects, aged between 18 and 63 years (M = 23.0, SD = 9.44), with a majority of females (76.4%). All participants answered the DCPI, the Brazilian version of the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised and the Brazilian version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). As a result, 306 new items were developed based on four sources of reference in the area and selected by means of content analysis and 27 items to compose the final version of the dimension to be applied. After data collection and statistical analysis, the reviewed dimension was composed of three factors plus a total score. The internal consistency coefficients were adequate and equal to .85 for the final set of 16 items, with a variation range between .78 and .81 per factor. Moreover, the expected intracorrelations were found, as well as consistent correlations with the instruments used. Data allow inferring validity evidence for the scale reviewed, as well as demonstrating satisfactory internal consistency.

Investigation of the clinical functioning of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 criticism avoidance dimension

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical functioning of the criticism avoidance dimension from the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (Inventário Dimensional Clínico da Personalidade 2 [IDCP-2]), establishing a clinically relevant cut-off for the typical traits of avoidant personality disorder (AvPD) for screening purposes. METHODS We administered the IDCP-2 to a sample of 2,276 subjects aged 18 to 90 years (mean = 26.95, standard deviation = 9.71). Of the total sample, 1,650 were women (67%) and most were college students (72.7%). The sample was divided into psychiatric patients diagnosed with other personality disorders (PDs) (n = 53), patients diagnosed with AvPD without comorbidities (n = 10), patients with AvPD with comorbidities (n=42) and those without a known diagnosis of PD (nonpsychiatric patients; n=2,171). RESULTS We checked for psychometric properties, assessed the adequacy of psychometric assumptions, and proceeded to focus analyses. The Wright item-person map showed the predominance of patients with AvPD in high levels of the scale. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) post hoc comparisons pointed to significant and expressive differences for almost all the comparisons; in the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, we observed a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity of 87%. CONCLUSION We found a suitable cut-off for the dimension, and results suggest that the dimension may help clinicians discriminate between patients with and without high levels in the symptoms of AvPD.

Revision of the grandiosity dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory and verification of its psychometric properties

INTRODUCTION Personality disorders are among the most common disorders seen in clinical psychology. However, in Brazil there are few instruments for assessing the pathological characteristics of personality. OBJECTIVE To revise the grandiosity dimension of the Brazilian Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory (Inventário Dimensional Clínico da Personalidade [IDCP]) and investigate its psychometric properties. METHODS A total of 225 people participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 18 to 66 years (mean [M] = 26.2, standard deviation [SD] = 8.1) and the majority were female (n = 162, 70.1%). The IDCP and the Brazilian versions of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) were administered to all participants. RESULTS A total of 285 new items were developed and content analysis was used to select 33 of these to comprise the final version destined for administration. The results of parallel analysis and factor analysis identified four interpretable factors. Internal consistency coefficients were deemed acceptable and varied from 0.73 to 0.84 for the factors. Additionally, the expected correlations between the IDCP Inventory and the other tests were observed. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the revised dimensions suitability for assessment of the pathological traits of narcissistic personality disorder.
