AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and validate the Five-Factor Schizoid Inventory (FFZI) to measure traits of schizoid personality disorder (SZD PD) within the Five-Factor Model of personality.
- In the first part, 496 college students completed various self-report measures, leading to strong evidence for the FFZI's internal consistency, convergent validity with similar personality traits, and discriminant validity from other disorders.
- A follow-up study with 181 participants from MTurk confirmed the FFZI's reliability and validity, suggesting it effectively measures SZD PD and supports the idea that SZD PD traits are an extreme form of introversion.
Article Abstract
The current study sought to provide evidence for a measure of schizoid personality disorder (SZD PD) traits using the Five-Factor Model framework of personality. In the first study, undergraduate participants ( = 496) completed the Five-Factor Schizoid Inventory (FFZI) and other self-report measures. The first half of the sample was used to develop the FFZI, while the second half was used to validate it. The FFZI demonstrated excellent internal consistency, convergent validity with measures of SZD PD and hypothesized IPIP-NEO facets, and discriminant validity with other PDs and non-hypothesized IPIP-NEO facets. The second study recruited MTurk participants ( = 181) and demonstrated preliminary support for the reliability and validity of the FFZI in an online, community sample. Ultimately, these data suggest that the FFZI is a useful measure of SZD PD and provide further evidence that SZD PD can be conceptualized as a maladaptive extension of introversion traits.
