Dismantling The Five Factor Form, Stephanie L. Rojas Jan 2017

Dismantling The Five Factor Form, Stephanie L. Rojas

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

The purpose of this dissertation was to provide a further validation of the Five Factor Form (FFF; Rojas & Widiger, 2014). The FFF is a brief (one page) rating form that assesses for adaptive and maladaptive variants of both poles for each of six facets for the five domains of the five-factor model. Two prior validation studies of the FFF have been completed using the items as they are scored within the FFF (Rojas & Widiger, 2014, in press). However, the FFF has a unique scoring system in which each item has normal and abnormal variants at both poles (e.g., …


Affective Instability Across Diagnostic Models, Whitney L. Gore Jan 2015

Affective Instability Across Diagnostic Models, Whitney L. Gore

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

The National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) Research Domain Criteria (RDoC; Insel et al., 2010; Sanislow et al., 2010) were established in an effort to explore underlying dimensions that cut across many existing disorders as well as to provide an alternative to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; APA, 2013).

Participants were adult community residents …


The Dsm-5 Dimensional Trait Model And The Five Factor Model, Whitney L. Gore Jan 2013

The Dsm-5 Dimensional Trait Model And The Five Factor Model, Whitney L. Gore

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

The current thesis tests empirically the relationship of the dimensional trait model proposed for the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders with five-factor models (FFM) of personality disorder (PD). The DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders Work Group proposes to diagnose the disorders largely in terms of a 25 trait dimensional model organized within five broad domains (i.e., negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism). Consistent with the authors of DSM-5, it was predicted that negative affectivity would align with FFM neuroticism, detachment with FFM introversion, antagonism with FFM antagonism, disinhibition with …
