What is The ADP-IV Questionnaire: Differential Validity and Concordance with the Semi-Structured Interview about?

The Assessment of DSM-IV Personality Disorders questionnaire (ADP-IV) is a self-report measure of the DSM-IV Axis II personality disorders (PDs). The ADP-IV assesses for each DSM-IV criterion its typicality as well as the accompanying distress and impairment. This study investigates two important aspects of the construct validity of the ADP-IV: (a) the differential validity (i.e., the ability to differentiate between [1] a sample of the general Flemish population (n = 659) and a sample of psychiatric inpatients (n = 487) with a high prevalence of clinical PD diagnoses, and [2] patients with and without a PD in the psychiatric sample; (b) the convergent validity with the SCID-II semi-structured interview in a population of psychiatric inpatients (n = 59). The results indicate a good differential validity: the dimensional scales and the categorical measures discriminated well between both groups and between patients with and without a PD diagnosis in the psychiatric sample. Concerning the concordance with the SCID-II, a decent level of agreement is exemplified by a correlation of .67 between the dimensional total scores of both instruments and by kappa coefficients for an "any" Axis
