Abstract

The Severity Indices of Personality Problems (SIPP; Verheul et al., 2008 Verheul, R., Andrea, H., Berghout, C. C., Dolan, C., Busschbach, J. J. V., van der Kroft, P. J. A., … Fonagy, P. (2008). Severity indices of personality problems (SIPP-118): Development, factor structure, reliability, and validity. Psychological Assessment, 20(1), 23–34. doi:10.1037/1040-3590.20.1.23[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) is a popular self-report questionnaire that measures severity of maladaptive personality functioning. Two studies demonstrated the utility of the short form (SIPP–SF) among older adults but validation in clinical settings is lacking. Therefore, we examined the psychometric properties of the SIPP–SF in a large sample of older adult Dutch outpatients (N = 124; age range = 60–85 years, M = 69.8, SD = 5.3). The SIPP–SF domains showed good to excellent internal reliability (Cronbach’s α = .75–.91) and effectively discriminated between participants with and without a personality disorder, as assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM–IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID–II). Convergent validity of the SIPP–SF was examined with instruments for measuring personality pathology among older adults (Informant Personality questionnaire [HAP]; Gerontological Personality Disorders Scale [GPS]). The GPS generally correlated with the SIPP–SF domains in expected directions, with small to large effect sizes. For the HAP, only 1 scale correlated with all SIPP–SF domains. No associations were found between the SIPP–SF and psychiatric symptomatology as measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). The SIPP–SF appears to be a promising instrument for assessing maladaptive personality functioning among older adult outpatients.

摘要

人格问题的严重程度指标（SIPP; Verheul等，2008 Verheul，R.，安德烈，H.，Berghout，CC，刀郎，C.，Busschbach，JJV，范德克罗夫特，PJA，...福纳吉，P.（2008）。人格问题的严重性指标（SIPP-118）：发展，因素结构，信度和效度。心理评估，20（1），23 – 34。doi：10.1037 / 1040-3590.20.1.23 [Crossref]，[PubMed]，[Web of Science®]  ，[Google Scholar]）是一种流行的自我报告调查表，用于衡量适应不良的人格功能的严重程度。两项研究表明，该缩写形式（SIPP–SF）在老年人中具有实用性，但缺乏在临床环境中的验证。因此，我们检查了大量荷兰老年人门诊患者（N  = 124；年龄范围：60-85岁，M  = 69.8，SD）中SIPP–SF的心理测量特性。 = 5.3）。SIPP-SF域显示出良好的内部可靠性（Cronbach'sα= .75-.91），并且有效区分了有无人格障碍的参与者，如通过DSM-IV第二轴人格障碍的结构化临床访谈（SCID）所评估–II）。SIPP–SF的收敛效度通过测量老年人人格病理的工具（信息人格问卷[HAP]；老年人格障碍量表[GPS]）进行了检验。GPS通常在预期的方向上与SIPP-SF域相关，影响大小从小到大。对于HAP，只有1个量表与所有SIPP-SF域相关。根据简短症状量表（BSI），SIPP-SF与精神病学症状学之间没有关联。
