Abstract
This preliminary study sought to determine the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Personality Disorders (IIP-PD-25) in a middle-aged to older adult sample in which personality pathology is common. Depressed inpatients (N = 62) between 55 and 92 years (M = 67.60, SD = 8.75) were administered self-report questionnaires to measure personality traits (NEO Five-Factor Inventory), interpersonal processes (IIP-PD-25), depression (Geriatric Depression Scale), and social role impairment (Social Adjustment Scale-Self-Report). We investigated whether the IIP-PD-25 has convergent validity with these measures. After adjusting for covariates, IIP-PD-25 scores were associated with greater depression (ß = .459, p < .001), greater social role impairment (ß = .374, p = .004), greater neuroticism (ß = .614, p < .001), and less agreeableness (ß = -.260, p = .035). Three-fourths of the IIP-PD-25 subscales also showed convergent validity with these constructs in the predicted directions. Based on these findings, the IIP-PD-25 is valid for purposes of capturing interpersonal and personality pathology in a depressed, older inpatient population.
本初步研究旨在确定人际问题-人格障碍量表(IIP-PD-25)在中老年成人样本中的心理测量特性,其中人格病理是常见的。对55 ~ 92岁的住院抑郁症患者(N = 62) (M = 67.60, SD = 8.75)进行人格特征(NEO五因素量表)、人际交往过程(IIP-PD-25)、抑郁(老年抑郁量表)和社会角色障碍(社会适应量表-自述)的自我报告问卷调查。我们研究了IIP-PD-25是否与这些措施具有收敛效度。在调整协变量后,IIP-PD-25评分与更严重的抑郁相关。459, p p = .004),更严重的神经质(s =。614, p p = .035)。四分之三的IIP-PD-25量表在预测方向上也显示出与这些构式的收敛效度。基于这些发现,IIP-PD-25在捕捉抑郁、老年住院患者的人际和人格病理方面是有效的。
期刊介绍:
These are some of the broad questions with which the International Journal of Aging and Human Development is concerned. Emphasis is upon psychological and social studies of aging and the aged. However, the Journal also publishes research that introduces observations from other fields that illuminate the "human" side of gerontology, or utilizes gerontological observations to illuminate in other fields.
