The regression model showed a strong, positive association between impairment in personality functioning and mental distress in all groups. The OPD-SQS can be assumed to be strictly invariant.

Despite its widespread use, the CMQ lacks sufficient research on its psychometric properties, especially in terms of measurement invariance across different linguistic versions (apart from the parent study). Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated the equivalence of the CMQ across genders, even though it is used for gender comparisons. To address this gap, we analyzed data from 2,897 participants (76.1% female) aged 18-89. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the modified one-factor structure, with a correlated residual that was replicated/previously reported, across languages. Measurement invariance analysis confirmed metric invariance across languages and scalar invariance across genders. Scalar invariance was established across education for Serbian, Bulgarian, and, with some caution, Greek, while it was not a property of the English sample.
