There has been considerable controversy and research regarding sex bias in the diagnosis of personality disorders, but little has involved self-report inventories. Thus this study investigated items from the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II (Millon, 1987), the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (Morey, Waugh, & Blashfield, 1985), and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-Revised (Hyler & Rieder, 1987). Subjects (N = 189) completed the Histrionic, Dependent, Antisocial, and Narcissistic scales from these inventories, along with the Bem Sex Role Inventory (Bem, 1974) and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (Derogatis, 1977). Items were considered to evidence sex or gender bias if they (a) failed to correlate with dysfunction and (b) exhibited sex or gender role differences. At least 13 items evidenced sex bias (76 items using a more liberal threshold). The majority were from Narcissistic scales; few Histrionic items evidenced sex or gender bias. Implications with respect to sex-bias assessment and item construction are discussed.
关于人格障碍诊断中的性别偏见,已经存在相当多的争议和研究,但涉及自我报告量表的研究却很少。因此,本研究调查了米隆临床多轴量表第二版(米隆,1987年)、明尼苏达多相人格量表(莫雷、沃和布拉什菲尔德,1985年)以及修订版人格诊断问卷(海勒和里德,1987年)中的项目。研究对象(N = 189)完成了这些量表中的表演型、依赖型、反社会型和自恋型量表,以及贝姆性别角色量表(贝姆,1974年)和症状自评量表90修订版(德罗加蒂斯,1977年)。如果项目(a)与功能障碍不相关且(b)表现出性别或性别角色差异,则认为这些项目存在性别偏见。至少有13个项目存在性别偏见(使用更宽松的阈值时有76个项目)。大多数项目来自自恋型量表;很少有表演型项目存在性别偏见。本文讨论了性别偏见评估和项目构建方面的影响。
