Abstract
ABSTRACT The nature and extent of the influence of culture on psychopathology have long been studied, with a central emphasis on whether abnormal behavior is etic (universalized) or emic (cultural based). This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties (factorial structure, inter-correlations, reliability, and criterion validity) of an Arabic translation of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 across three Arabic-speaking countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar; N = 710). The results of first-order 25-factor CFAs indicated generally acceptable to good fit for the Arabic version of the PID-5. In addition, the results of higher-order five factors CFAs (using the five domains) indicated a generally acceptable fit. Furthermore, the 25 facets of the PID-5 had moderate to high reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. Finally, the five domains of the PID-5 had strong inter-correlations and expected associations with the FFM model of personality. Therefore, this study replicated the adequate psychometric properties of the PID-5 in Arabic-speaking Middle Eastern countries.
期刊介绍:
This title has ceased (2018). This important peer-review journal provides an innovative forum, both international and multidisciplinary, for addressing cross-cultural issues and mental health. Culture as it comes to bear on mental health is a rapidly expanding area of inquiry and research within psychiatry and psychology, and other related fields such as social work, with important implications for practice in the global context. The journal is an essential resource for health care professionals working in the field of cross-cultural mental health.Readership includes psychiatrists, psychologists, medical anthropologists, medical sociologists, psychiatric nurses and social workers, general practitioners and other mental health professionals interested in the area. The International Journal of Culture and Mental Health publishes original empirical research, review papers and theoretical articles in the fields of cross-cultural psychiatry and psychology. Contributions from the fields of medical anthropology and medical sociology are particularly welcome. A continuing dialogue between members of various disciplines in various fields is encouraged. The aim of the journal is to encourage its readers to think about various issues which have clouded cross-cultural development of ideas. The journal lays special emphasis on developing further links between medical anthropology, medical sociology, clinical psychiatry and psychology, and implications of the findings on service provisions. The journal is published four times a year. The style of reference is Harvard. All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.
