Abstract

The internal structure is investigated in mental health measures, exploring or confirming the association of stimuli composing the test and whether this structure is consistent with expectation. Our focus is on the internal structure of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (idcp-2), a self-report test for pathological traits measurement. Previous studies have only partially verified the internal structure of idcp-2. The objective of this study is to verify the internal structure of idcp-2, contemplating in the same analysis all its dimensions and factors. Participants were 2,000 people from the general population. We conducted confirmatory (cfa) and exploratory (efa) factorial analyzes, including bifactor models. The results showed the bifactor model with 12 specific factors with best fit indices. The internal consistency for the general factor was above .90, and from .40 to .91 for the specific factors. Findings suggested the original solution of idcp-2 is reasonable using a bifactor model. How to cite this article: Carvalho, L.F., Gonçalves, A.P., Araujo, J.A., Macedo F.M. (2021).

维度临床人格量表2在巴西社区样本的内部结构验证

在心理健康测量中调查内部结构，探索或确认构成测试的刺激的关联，以及这种结构是否与预期一致。我们的重点是维度临床人格量表2（idcp-2）的内部结构，这是一种用于测量病理特征的自我报告测试。先前的研究仅部分验证了idcp-2的内部结构。本研究的目的是验证idcp-2的内部结构，同时考虑其所有维度和因素。参与者为普通人群中的2000人。我们进行了验证性（cfa）和探索性（efa）析因分析，包括双因素模型。结果表明，具有12个特定因子的双因子模型具有最佳拟合指数。一般因子的内部一致性在0.90以上，特定因子的内部相容性在.40至.91之间。研究结果表明，使用双因子模型，idcp-2的原始解决方案是合理的。如何引用这篇文章：Carvalho，L.F.，Gonçalves，A.P.，Araujo，J.A.，Macedo F.M.（2021）。在巴西社区样本中验证维度临床人格量表2的内部结构。《哥伦比亚心理学评论》，30（2），115-125。https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v30n2.83530

期刊介绍： The Revista Colombiana de Psicología (RCP) aims to reach educational and cultural institutions interested in the psychological science, as well as psychologists and students of psychology or related disciplines. The goal of the journal is to increase public knowledge about psychology in Latin America by publishing original, peer-reviewed, articles within the several fields of psychology. In this way, RCP aims at creating a stronger academic community in this field in Latin America and to spread state-of-the-art research agendas at the international level. RCP publishes empirical and theoretical works that follow the guide lines accepted by the different scientific and theoretical perspectives in psychology, and presented as essays, meta-analysis, literature reviews and empirical studies.
