Dimensions of personality disorder and their relationships to the Big Five dimensions of personality.

Abstract

Researchers have suggested that personality disorders (PDs) could be better understood with a dimensional model than with the DSM-IIII-R categorical system. The authors conceptualized PDs as extreme expressions of personality functioning. Dimensional measures of aspects of PD were developed for the present study on the basis of previous factor-analytic investigations. The authors examined the convergence of these measures with Costa and McCrae's «Big Five» factors in a sample of 300 general-population subjects
