AI Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that the questionnaire has good reliability and validity, and its effectiveness is largely consistent across different demographics like age and gender.
- * The findings suggest that the OPD-SQS is a useful tool for assessing personality functioning in the general population, linking it to overall mental health and work performance.
Article Abstract
Background: The assessment of personality functioning is at the core of current dimensional models of personality disorders. A variety of measures from different clinical and research traditions aim to assess basic psychological capacities regarding the self and others. While some instruments have shown reliability and validity in clinical or other selected samples, much less is known about their performance in the general population.
Methods: In three samples representative of the German adult population with a total of 7,256 participants, levels of personality functioning were measured with the short 12-item version of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis - Structure Questionnaire (OPD-SQS). We addressed questions of factor structure, reliability, validity, factorial invariance, and provide norm values.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a satisfactory to good model fit. OPD-SQS models were mostly unaffected by variables such as gender, age, or measurement time. As expected, personality functioning was associated with general psychopathology as well as indices of occupational functioning.
Conclusion: The OPD-SQS is a viable measure to assess personality functioning in the general population.
