Divorce is associated with a multitude of outcomes related to health and well-being. Data from a representative community sample (N = 1,241) of St. Louis residents (ages 55-64) were used to examine associations between personality pathology and divorce in late midlife. Symptoms of the 10 DSM-IV personality disorders were assessed with the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality and the Multisource Assessment of Personality Pathology (both self and informant versions). Multiple regression analyses showed Paranoid and Histrionic personality disorder symptoms to be consistently and positively associated with number of divorces across all three sources of personality assessment. Conversely, Avoidant personality disorder symptoms were negatively associated with number of divorces. The present paper provides new information about the relationship between divorce and personality pathology at a developmental stage that is understudied in both domains.
离婚与许多与健康和幸福相关的结果有关。本研究使用来自圣路易斯居民(年龄 55-64 岁)的代表性社区样本(N=1241)的数据,研究了人格病理学与中年后期离婚之间的关系。使用DSM-IV 人格障碍结构访谈和多源人格病理评估(自我和知情者版本)评估了 10 种 DSM-IV 人格障碍的症状。多元回归分析显示,偏执型和表演型人格障碍症状与所有三种人格评估来源的离婚次数呈一致的正相关。相反,回避型人格障碍症状与离婚次数呈负相关。本研究为离婚与人格病理学之间的关系提供了新的信息,这是两个领域中研究较少的发展阶段。
