Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a four-factor structure comprising Warmth, Unpleasantness, Sociability, and Competence. Structural equation modeling showed age-graded differences in endorsement: Warmth was more strongly endorsed at older ages, whereas Unpleasantness, Sociability, and Competence were less strongly endorsed. Depressive symptoms and perceived social status were each uniquely associated with greater tolerance of Unpleasantness in others, independent of age. These findings suggest that social-evaluative preferences vary systematically across age groups, while also being linked to mood and perceived rank. We discuss these cross-sectional age differences in relation to lifespan motivational theory, contemporary models of social evaluation, and evolutionary accounts of depressed mood.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148887956","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}

Criterion validity was tested through associations with attachment style and emotional dysregulation. Multiple group confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used. With a single residual correlation between items 3 and 4, a one-factor solution showed adequate fit. Reliability was acceptable (ωcases = .75; ωcontrols = .76). Partial metric invariance held, but item 7 showed scalar non-invariance, suggesting it should be revised or removed. Secure attachment predicted better mentalizing only in controls, while avoidant and ambivalent styles related to reduced mentalizing. Emotional dysregulation was the strongest predictor of hypomentalizing across groups. Overall, the findings provide support for the single‑factor RFQ‑8 but indicates some measurement issues, particularly related to reverse‑coded items in SSD populations.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148874461","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}

This study aimed to examine the structure of spiritual yearning and develop reliable measures. Across three studies of nonreligious adults (total N = 1,579), we conducted exploratory bifactor analysis and bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling (B-ESEM). Results revealed a strong general factor of spiritual yearning, along with nine group factors reflecting distinct yearnings: moral guidance, divine relationship, afterlife beliefs, communal belonging, transcendent interconnectedness, inner peace, spiritual experiences, authentic self-discovery, and meaningful legacy. Based on these results, we created two scales: a 9-item general yearning measure and a 27-item version incorporating a general scale and nine three-item subscales. All measures showed strong psychometric properties and initial evidence of predictive validity. Correlations indicated that general yearning was meaningfully related to existential concerns such as meaning in life, religious quest orientation, and spiritual struggles, while subscales also revealed theoretically meaningful unique associations with specific domains of spiritual struggle.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"731-744"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147377906","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 compare the two instruments, we used the extension to the circular stochastic process model for the circumplex (SPMC-E). This method makes it possible to map the scales from one instrument onto the latent circumplex structure of the other and to examine how clinically relevant covariates (i.e., dysphoria and personality dysfunction) relate to the latent circumplex as assessed by either instrument. Both instruments demonstrated good fit to a latent quasi-circumplex, close alignment with theoretically expected scale locations, and high one-month test-retest reliability (r > .70). However, notable differences emerged: the CSIP covered more maladaptive variants of dominant behavior than the IIP-C, and dysphoria and personality dysfunction were associated with a submissive-cold style in the CSIP, but not the IIP-C. These findings reflect meaningful differences in item content and show how the two questionnaires could complement each other in measuring interpersonal problems.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"657-671"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146086166","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}

This study evaluated a simplified, feasibility-oriented adaptation of Therapeutic Assessment-the Therapeutic Model of Assessment (TMA)-implemented in a university psychology clinic.

Patients in the TMA group showed significant reductions in depressive, anxious, and overall distress symptoms from the initial assessment to the feedback session. Dropout rates decreased from 37% to 16.5%, reflecting improved engagement and treatment retention. Among patients with personality pathology, dropout risk was significantly lower when TMA was implemented.

However, the magnitude of wording effects is rarely considered in such analyses or distinguished from effects of multiple sources of measurement error. In this article, we demonstrate how generalizability theory-based structural equation model designs are well suited for such purposes using results from all subscales within the Self-Description Questionnaire-III taken by a large sample of college students (n = 1,796) on two occasions. Results emphasized the importance of separating construct, item wording, and measurement error (specific-factor, transient, and random-response) effects for each individual subscale and the effectiveness of generalizability theory-based techniques in doing so. Within the most complete designs, average proportions of explained observed score variance were highest for targeted constructs, followed respectively by random-response error, transient error, specific-factor error, and item wording. We provide code in R for analyzing both generalizability theory and parallel conventional congeneric structural equation models to estimate construct, wording, and measurement error effects using both single- and multiple-occasion designs.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"597-613"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146227282","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}

The FFM ATM accounted for a substantial portion of the variance in the traditional Dark Triad constructs, as well as secondary psychopathy and vulnerable narcissism, but was less successful in relation to borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits. Incremental validity analyses revealed that supplementing the FFM ATM with items from the FFBI-SSF significantly enhanced the prediction of BPD traits. Exploratory factor analysis further indicated that integrating FFBI-SSF items produced a distinct BPD-like factor that extends beyond the core dimensions of antagonism, impulsivity, emotional stability, and agency. These findings suggest that the FFM ATM provides a parsimonious framework for assessing antagonistic and most vulnerable Dark Triad traits, but additional targeted measures can aid in the prediction of BPD traits.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"648-656"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146064385","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}

Using the ISC-IT, we replicated key findings from previous research, including that individuals are most sensitive to interpersonal behaviors that are opposite to their own, and that interpersonal sensitivities have both general and specific associations with maladaptive personality traits.

In this paper, we report on a new transformer model, in which machine-predicted scores of the Winter (1994) training manual benchmark dataset achieve over or near .85 correlation with hand-coded scores, as measured by both Pearson and intraclass correlation coefficients. We additionally provide evidence of the convergent, divergent, causal, and criterion validity of the machine-predicted motive scores from our model, and make the model freely available for research via a web-based API.1 Finally, we compare performance between our model and two recent transformer-based models.
