The Standardized Assessment of Severity of Personality Disorder (SASPD) is a 9-item self-report screening instrument and was developed to assess personality disorder (PD) severity according to the initial proposal of ICD-11. Our aim was to investigate the psychometric properties of the German version of the SASPD in nonclinical and clinical samples. A total of 1,991 participants (N = 888 from nonclinical and N = 1,103 from clinical samples) provided ratings on the SASPD as well as other measures of psychopathology and personality. We examined the SASPD regarding its factor structure, internal consistency, and construct validity. A unidimensional structure of the SASPD provided inadequate model fit, whereas a 3-factor solution provided good fit in both the nonclinical and clinical samples. Internal consistency of the SASPD total score was acceptable in the clinical and nonclinical samples based on this multifactorial model. In terms of convergent validity, SASPD scores correlated fairly with other measures of PD severity across samples. Discriminant validity with measures of general symptom distress and measures of (normal) personality traits was mixed. In addition, the SASPD scores predicted levels of PD severity above and beyond a measure of symptom distress. The SASPD captures some theoretically expected features of PD severity. However, the multidimensional structure and limited convergent and discriminant validity may hamper future usage of the SASPD as a short screening tool of PD severity according to ICD-11.

非临床和临床德国样本中人格障碍严重程度标准化评估（SASPD）的心理评估。

人格障碍严重程度的标准化评估（SASPD）是一项9个项目的自我报告筛查工具，根据ICD-11的最初提议，该评估标准旨在评估人格障碍（PD）的严重程度。我们的目的是研究非临床和临床样本中德文版SASPD的心理测量特性。共有1,991名参与者（非临床样本中N = 888，临床样本中N = 1,103）对SASPD以及其他心理病理学和人格测评进行了评级。我们检查了SASPD的因素结构，内部一致性和结构效度。SASPD的一维结构无法提供足够的模型拟合，而三因素解决方案可以很好地拟合非临床和临床样本。基于此多因素模型，SASPD总分的内部一致性在临床和非临床样本中均可接受。在收敛效度方面，SASPD评分与样本中PD严重性的其他度量相当相关。区别一般效度和一般症状困扰的措施，以及（正常）人格特征的措施。此外，SASPD评分可预测PD严重程度超过症状困扰的程度。SASPD捕获了PD严重程度的一些理论上预期的特征。然而，根据ICD-11，多维结构以及有限的收敛性和判别有效性可能会妨碍将来将SASPD用作PD严重性的简短筛查工具。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
