The validity of the five-factor model prototypes for personality disorders in two clinical samples

Article Abstract:

The validity of D.R. Lynam and T.A. Widiger's (2001) prototypes for personality disorders (PD) derived from the facets of 5-factor model (FFM) of personality in two clinical samples is examined. The FFM PD similarity scores demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity with results from a semistructured interview and a self-report measure of Axis II pathology.
