The present study investigated psychometric properties of a French translation of the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD; Zanarini et al., 2003) in a large sample of university students (N = 1,350). A confirmatory factor analysis supported the single-factor structure of the MSI-BPD, and its configural, metric and scalar invariance across gender was established. Internal consistency was high (tetrachoric α = .88; Ω = .88). MSI-BPD scores were significantly correlated to depressive symptoms (r = .57), trauma symptoms (r = .40), negative consequences of substance use (r = .25), and frequency of drug use (r = .11). Finally, 9.5% of the sample reached the clinical cutoff, which is similar to the pooled prevalence for BPD reported in a recent meta-analysis of university students. The present study showed that the French translation of the MSI-BPD is a psychometrically sound screening tool for BPD in both men and women.

验证 McLean 筛查工具的法语翻译，用于检测边缘性人格障碍、跨性别的不变性以及大学生中与抑郁、创伤症状和物质使用的关联。

本研究在大量大学生样本（N = 1,350）中调查了 McLean 边缘型人格障碍筛查工具（MSI-BPD；Zanarini 等人，2003 年）的法语翻译的心理测量特性。验证性因素分析支持 MSI-BPD 的单因素结构，并建立了其跨性别的配置、度量和标量不变性。内部一致性很高（四氯α = .88；Ω = .88）。MSI-BPD 评分与抑郁症状 (r = .57)、创伤症状 (r = .40)、物质使用的负面后果 (r = .25) 和药物使用频率 (r = .11) 显着相关。最后，9.5% 的样本达到了临床临界值，这与最近对大学生进行的荟萃分析中报告的 BPD 汇总患病率相似。
