This study investigates how psychodynamic psychotherapists in the early stages of learning the Structured Interview of Personality Organization - Revised (STIPO-R) experience and integrate it into practice, using a constructivist-interpretivist perspective to examine this process. Seven psychotherapists from the Polish STIPO-R validation study took part in semi-structured interviews exploring their early use of the tool. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis with team discussions, detailed coding, and reflexive strategies to ensure trustworthiness. Six themes were developed in the analysis: Psychotherapists tend to (a) modify and personalize the STIPO-R; (b) identify what the STIPO-R can and cannot do in real practice; (c) navigate relational dynamics while administering the STIPO-R; (d) shape their understanding of patient functioning through observation and interpretation of responses; (e) reflect on the significance of embedding the STIPO-R in object relations theory; and (f) struggle with some elements of the STIPO-R during the diagnostic process. Our findings show how clinical utility is co-constructed and highlight key aspects to observe-an insight valuable for training. We discuss implications for examining this shaping process for other clinical tools as well.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147839250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By leveraging natural language processing and machine learning, these chatbots can engage users in conversational exchanges, providing a more nuanced and contextual evaluation of personality traits. This study compares the psychometric validity of AI chatbot-based personality interviews with conventional methods, including scale-based measures and short essay questionnaires. We also examine how user perceptions of the AI chatbot influence the validity of machine-inferred personality scores. Data was collected from 189 Prolific participants at two time points. Adopting the multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) analytical framework and based on the generalizability theory (G-theory), we found that machine-inferred scores from both the short essay questionnaire and the AI chatbot interview converge well with scale-based methods but show weaker discriminant validity. Chatbot-based scores demonstrated incremental validity beyond other methods (i.e., scale-based and short essay scores) for predicting subjective health and perceived job performance. Preliminary findings suggest that ease of concentration during the chatbot interview may influence the convergence between scale-based and chatbot-based machine-inferred scores. Overall, our results support the use of AI chatbots for personality assessment while highlighting the need for further research on how user perceptions affect the psychometric properties of AI-based assessments.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147839318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is currently measured through the two-dimensional (i.e., physical dominance and anti-egalitarianism) SDO7 scale. However, a complete testing of its factor structure across varied populations is highly required. A caste-based society perhaps reflects a stronger socio-cultural expression of social dominance theory. In the present study, we examined the factor structure of the SDO7 scale in such a society, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on a sample of 1,020 participants (age: M = 19.5, SD = 2.07 years). The results reported that Ho et al.'s two-factor model was one of the best good-fit models. The SDO7 scale was strongly invariant across gender, caste, religion, and region. Moreover, men and higher caste had higher SDO. The present study shows that the asymmetrical expression of the method effect across dimensions is a possible problem in the SDO conceptualizations. It supports the cross-cultural validity of SDO, suggests new ideas on its factor structure, and partially establishes a reliable and valid Hindi version of the SDO7 scale. Relevance to social dominance theory and interventions has been discussed.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"413-421"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145458866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploratory structural equation modeling supported the five-factor structure, with good to excellent internal consistency. Nomological validity was demonstrated through correlations with other measures of personality and psychopathology. All PID-5-BF domains, except antagonism, differed significantly between adolescents with borderline PD (BPD), non-BPD inpatients, and community controls. However, only negative affectivity showed significantly higher mean scores among inpatient youths with BPD compared to those without BPD. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicated that only negative affectivity among the PID-5-BF domains demonstrated diagnostic accuracy in the lower moderate range for identifying BPD, whereas the total score and other domains showed limited performance. In comparison, a measure of identity diffusion demonstrated stronger discriminative ability. Overall, these findings suggest that the PID-5-BF might be a useful tool for identifying pathological personality trait-related risk factors associated with general psychopathology. However, its utility might be more limited in accurately detecting BPD specifically within adolescent populations.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"334-346"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145355166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of its key strengths is that it is based on linguistic research that has been consistently replicated across various cultures. The HEXACO Adjective Scale (HAS), developed in Italian, consists of 60 adjectives designed to evaluate the dimensions of personality according to the HEXACO model. The present paper presents a cross-cultural study assessing the validity of the HAS across French, Dutch, and English. We translated the HAS into each language and administered the translated scales to 319 Dutch-speaking (Belgium) participants, 317 French-speaking (France) participants, and 436 English-speaking (US) participants. CFAs confirm that each language replicates the original structure. Moreover, we obtained evidence of strong invariance across languages, providing important support in favor of measurement invariance. The internal consistency of the scales is satisfactory and in line with the Italian version. Similarly, the prediction of behavioral criteria supports the validity of the translated HAS in different languages. Overall, the HAS shows very good psychometric properties and has all the necessary characteristics to be used in future studies. The strong invariance between languages supports the replicability of the HEXACO model across cultures.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"403-412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145564468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the client and the therapist received PICA feedback and specific therapeutic recommendations targeting social cognitive personality structures and processes that appeared to contribute most to the client's distress and dysfunction. After the therapist began implementing these PICA-informed interventions, the client reported significant decreases in depressive symptoms that remained stable over two months, culminating in a successful termination of therapy. Evidence suggested that decreases in depression coincided with the client showing improvements in the personality structures and processes that were targeted by the PICA-informed therapeutic interventions. The client's perceptions of therapy credibility and expectancy, as well as their motivation to change, also appeared to improve. However, there was no evidence that the PICA feedback improved the client's self-understanding or self-efficacy.

The study aimed to validate the ETMCQ clinically, assess its consistency across clinical groups and community controls, and explore the relationship between epistemic attitudes (trust, mistrust, and credulity), mentalizing, and mental health problems by comparing the two groups. The ETMCQ's three-factor structure showed acceptable reliability and validity in the clinical setting. The measurement invariance analyses showed complete metric consistency but only partial scalar and strict consistency, with certain items not aligning across groups (Items 1, 3, 4 for scalar consistency; 2, 12, 14 for strict consistency). The results indicated that difficulties in mentalizing and increased levels of epistemic trust, mistrust, and credulity were linked to a greater likelihood of experiencing clinical distress. These outcomes underline the effectiveness of the ETMCQ in distinguishing between clinical and non-clinical individuals.

The current study examined criterion-related and incremental validity of collateral-report via the ASEBA Adult Behavior Checklist (ABCL) in association with MMPI-3 Restructured Clinical and select Specific Problems Scales. We expected 1) modest correspondence between MMPI-3 scales and corresponding ABCL scales, consistent with meta-analytic findings on self*collateral correlations (e.g., Achenbach et al., 2005); and 2) collateral-report to significantly increment variance accounted for by self-report in predicting congruent MMPI-3 scales. The sample included 107 undergraduate students (61.8% White) who completed self-report measures and recruited a collateral reporter (mostly friends/roommates). Correlations between hypothesized MMPI-3 and ABCL scales ranged from -0.00 (ABCL Intrusive-MMPI-3 Activation) to .43 (ABCL Anxious-Depressed-MMPI-3 Demoralization). Incremental validity of collateral-report (small-medium effects) was demonstrated in seven of 12 models (58.3%). Findings indicate correspondence between ABCL collateral-report and congruent MMPI-3 scales is modest and variable and extend the criterion-related validity evidence available for the MMPI-3. Results are consistent with extant literature arguing that collateral-report provides unique incremental information, reaffirming the utility of multi-informant data in the adult assessment context.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"309-320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145438383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To demonstrate this, we introduce and validate a novel LLM-based methodology for psychological assessment by applying it to Future Self-Continuity (FSC), the perceived connection, including similarity, vividness, and positivity, between present and future selves. We used an LLM (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) to perform natural language processing (NLP) on transcripts of audio responses to 15 theory-based interview prompts. Data from 164 MTurk participants (including 93 with past-year suicide ideation, who were oversampled to examine clinical utility) yielded quantitative NLP-FSC scores that significantly correlated with the Future Self-Continuity Questionnaire (FSCQ; r = 0.57), supporting convergent validity. A Bland-Altman analysis also indicated acceptable agreement. Replication using one older and two updated LLM versions confirmed the method's robustness (inter-model total score r = 0.91, 0.88, and 0.84). Exploratory analysis using the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQR) found that the NLP assessment captured unique variance in the perceived likelihood of a future suicide attempt beyond the FSCQ, suggesting potential clinical implications. This validated NLP approach offers a nuanced assessment of FSC, advancing psychological measurement methodology in research and, potentially, clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"437-447"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145409158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
