We examined the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the self-report Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+ (PDQ-4+) in a sample of 437 psychiatric outpatients. Psychometric properties were assessed through internal consistency analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and concurrent validity. Results indicate that the Spanish version of the PDQ-4+ has moderate internal consistency, which was acceptable for 7 of the 12 self-report scales. The factor structure roughly replicated the DSM-IV clusters. The presence of Personality Disorders was associated with the character dimensions of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI).
Propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del autoinforme Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire –4+ (PDQ-4+) en pacientes psiquiátricos ambulatorios. Este estudio examina las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del autoinforme Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+ (PDQ-4+) en una muestra de 437 pacientes psiquiátricos ambulatorios. Se han evaluado sus propiedades psicométricas mediante análisis de consistencia interna, análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y validez concurrente. Los resultados indican que la versión española del PDQ-4+ tiene una consistencia interna moderada, siendo aceptable para 7 de las 12 escalas autorreportadas. La estructura factorial replica aproximadamente los clusters del DSM-IV. La presencia de Trastornos de Personalidad está asociada a las dimensiones de carácter del Inventario de Temperamento y Carácter (TCI).
