There is a general consensus that personality disorders (PDs) share a general factor (g-PD) overlapping with the general factor of psychopathology (p-factor). The general psychopathology factor is related to many social dysfunctions, but its nature still remains to some extent ambiguous. We posit that hostile attributions may be explanatory for the factor common for all PDs, i.e., interpersonal problems and difficulty in building long-lasting and satisfying relationships of all kinds. Thus, the main objective of the current project was to expand the existing knowledge about underlying factors of g-PD with regard to hostile attributions. We performed a cross-sectional study on a representative, community sample of Poles ( = 1031). Our hypotheses were primarily confirmed as hostile attributions predicted p-factor. However, the relation was positive only for hostile attributions related to ambiguous situations involving relational harm and physical harm done by female authorities and negative in case of hostile attributions in situations involving physical harm done by peers. Additionally, paranoia-like thoughts strongly related to hostile attributions and independently predicted g-PD. The results contribute to the current discussion on the nature of the g-PD, confirm that hostile attributions and paranoia are a crucial aspect of personality pathology, and indicate the importance of working on these cognitions in the course of therapeutic work.
人们普遍认为，人格障碍（PDs）共享一个与精神病理学一般因素（p因素）重叠的一般因素（g-PD）。一般精神病理学因素与许多社会功能障碍有关，但其本质在一定程度上仍不明确。我们认为，敌意归因可能解释了所有PDs共有的因素，即人际关系问题以及在建立各种持久且令人满意的关系方面存在困难。因此，当前项目的主要目标是扩展关于g-PD潜在因素中敌意归因的现有知识。我们对波兰人的一个具有代表性的社区样本（n = 1031）进行了横断面研究。我们的假设主要得到证实，因为敌意归因预测了p因素。然而，这种关系仅在与涉及女性权威造成的关系伤害和身体伤害的模糊情境相关的敌意归因中呈正向，而在涉及同伴造成身体伤害的情境中的敌意归因中呈负向。此外，类似偏执的想法与敌意归因密切相关，并独立预测了g-PD。这些结果有助于当前关于g-PD本质的讨论，证实了敌意归因和偏执是人格病理学的一个关键方面，并表明在治疗工作过程中处理这些认知的重要性。
