We demonstrate a means of conservatively combining self and peer data regarding personality pathology and interpersonal behavior through structural equation modeling, focusing on avoidant personality disorder traits as well as those of two comparison personality disorders (dependent and narcissistic). Assessment of the relationship between personality disorder traits and interpersonal problems based on either self or peer data alone would result in counterintuitive findings regarding avoidant personality disorder. In contrast, analysis of the variance shared between self and peer leads to results that are more in keeping with hypothetical relationships between avoidant traits and interpersonal problems. Similar results were found for both dependent personality disorder traits and narcissistic personality disorder traits, exceeding our expectations for this method.
我们通过结构方程建模展示了一种保守地结合自我和同伴关于人格病理学和人际行为数据的方法,重点关注回避型人格障碍特征以及两种比较人格障碍(依赖型和自恋型)的特征。仅基于自我或同伴数据评估人格障碍特征与人际问题之间的关系,会导致回避型人格障碍的发现结果违反直觉。相比之下,分析自我和同伴之间共享的方差会得出更符合回避型特征与人际问题之间假设关系的结果。对于依赖型人格障碍特征和自恋型人格障碍特征也发现了类似的结果,超出了我们对这种方法的预期。
