Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test a series of competing models to determine the best way to characterize the factor structure of the DSM-III-R personality disorder scores. Data were collected from 301 clients with a primary diagnosis of anxiety disorder. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID) was used to determine Axis I and Axis II diagnoses, and adequate to good reliability was obtained for the number of criteria met for a given personality disorder. Several factor models were tested, including a single-factor model, a three-factor model based on the DSM grouping of odd, dramatic, and anxious personality disorders, and a four-factor model based on normal personality theories. Only the DSM three-factor model received strong and unequivocal support.
验证性因素分析用于检验一系列相互竞争的模型，以确定表征《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第三版修订本》（DSM-III-R）人格障碍分数的因素结构的最佳方法。数据收集自301名初步诊断为焦虑症的患者。使用《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第三版修订本》的结构化临床访谈（SCID）来确定轴I和轴II诊断，并且对于给定人格障碍满足的标准数量获得了足够至良好的信度。测试了几个因素模型，包括单因素模型、基于DSM对怪异型、戏剧型和焦虑型人格障碍分组的三因素模型，以及基于正常人格理论的四因素模型。只有DSM三因素模型得到了有力且明确的支持。
