Notwithstanding its research and clinical relevance, the dimensionality and validity of the DSM-IV avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders (PDs) criteria is still a largely unexplored topic. The aim of this study was to test the factor structure for DSM-IV Cluster C PD criteria in a sample of 641 consecutively admitted outpatients. Factor analysis results suggested that avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive PDs share a common latent dimension, and supported the three-factor structure of both observer and self-report ratings of DSM-IV Cluster C PD criteria. The pattern of factor loadings, however, was different from the one expected according to the DSM-IV classification.
尽管其具有研究和临床相关性,但《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第四版》(DSM-IV)中回避型、依赖型和强迫型人格障碍(PDs)标准的维度和有效性仍是一个很大程度上未被探索的主题。本研究的目的是在641名连续入院的门诊患者样本中检验DSM-IV C类人格障碍标准的因子结构。因子分析结果表明,回避型、依赖型和强迫型人格障碍共享一个共同的潜在维度,并支持了DSM-IV C类人格障碍标准的观察者评定和自我报告评定的三因素结构。然而,因子负荷的模式与根据DSM-IV分类预期的模式不同。
