| Sumario: | Psychopathology is in a moment of crisis. The categorical classification systems have received several criticisms from researchers and clinicians. New proposals try to present a superior, dimensional and hierarchical model. Among them are those that propose a single dimension of general psychopathology. In this study, we sought to analyze the underlying structure of pathological personality traits, looking to provide evidence for such proposals. In doing so, the internal structure of the Spanish version of the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 [PID-5] was examined by a confirmatory factor analysis. Four alternative models were compared: the five-factor model, a second-ordered factor model, bifactor, and one-factor. The bifactor model presented a better fit to the data. This suggests that the observed variables reflect five specific pathological traits but also a general propensity for psychopathology. |
