Analyzing Personality Functioning: A Detailed Review
This analysis delves into key aspects of personality functioning based on the provided data.
We will examine the scales of Identity, Self-Directedness, Empathy, and Intimacy, along with their respective subscales, within work and social domains.
Furthermore, we will analyze the descriptive statistics related to various study measures.
Psychometric Properties of DLOPFQ Scales
Table 1 presents the psychometric properties for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) Levels of Personality Functioning Questionnaire (DLOPFQ) scales and subscales.
The scales include Identity, Self-Directedness, Empathy, and Intimacy, each divided into Work and Social domains.
“Psychometric Properties for DLOPFQ Scales and Subscales Range Cronbach’s a Identity total score = 66 8s—(iti NSS Work Identity 41.6 13.3 16-76 88 Social Identity 45.0 15.7, 14-84 91 Self-Directedness total score ley 26.5 34-151 92 Work Self-Directedness 44.9 13.5 16-76 85 Social Self-Directedness 46.3 14.3 17-80 86 Empathy total score 101.8 15.8 48-139 84 Work Empathy 49.9 8.2 20-72 72 Social Empathy 51.9 8.6 28-76 UTE Intimacy total score 122.9 28.6 56-189 91 Work Intimacy 61.7 14.3 28-94 82 Social Intimacy 61.2 15.4 24-96 86”
The Cronbach’s alpha values, ranging from .72 to .92, indicate good to excellent internal consistency for these scales, suggesting that the items within each scale are measuring the same construct reliably.
Descriptive Statistics for Study Measures
Table 2 provides sample descriptive statistics for various study measures, including the Behavioral Activation System (BAS), Sensitivity to Reward (SR), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale (ASRM), and Modified Social Rhythm Metric Regularity (M-SRM).
“Means and Standard Deviations of Scores on Baseline Measures Scale High BAS group Moderate BAS group p BAS-T 46.17 (2.87) 37.99 (1.32) SR 17.94 (1.88) 11.52 (1.84) BDI 7.11 (6.50) 6.18 (6.09) 254 ASRM 6.46 (4.01) 5.63 (3.69) 109 M-SRM 11.05 (3.36) 11.76 (2.75) 078”
The data compares the scores between the High BAS group and Moderate BAS group, showing significant differences in BAS-T and SR scores.
Parenthetical values represent standard deviations.
Key Takeaways
The DLOPFQ scales, with their high Cronbach’s alpha values, appear to be reliable tools for assessing different dimensions of personality functioning.
The descriptive statistics highlight differences between groups with varying levels of behavioral activation, providing insights into the relationships between these measures.
Further Discussion
Future research could explore the predictive validity of these scales in relation to real-world outcomes and investigate the effectiveness of interventions targeting specific aspects of personality functioning.
