Conexión entre los rasgos patológicos de la personalidad y la conducta interpersonal

An alternative model of pathological personality traits was recently developed in an effort to address the challenges associated with the categorical model of personality disorder classification (e.g., high rates of comorbidity, minimal overlap with modern conceptualizations of personality structure). More specifically, this alternative model provides a dimensional framework through which personality disorders can be understood in terms of their level of impairment in personality functioning. The development of this alternative model led to the construction of the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5; Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson, & Skodol, 2012) which assesses the presence and level of the following pathological personality traits: negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism. These pathological personality traits are considered to be maladaptive variants of the basic personality dimensions described by the Big Five model (i.e., neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness; Thomas et al., 2013). We will focus our review on previous research concerning the interpersonal outcomes associated with the PID-5 pathological personality traits and suggest possible directions for future research.Un modelo alternativo de rasgos patológicos de la personalidad se ha desarrollado últimamente con la intención de abordar los retos relacionados con el modelo categórico de clasificación de trastornos de la personalidad (p. ej. alta tasa de comorbilidad, coincidencia mínima con conceptualizaciones modernas de la estructura de la personalidad). Más específico, este modelo alternativo ofrece un marco dimensional que posibilita que los trastornos de la personalidad se entiendan en términos de su nivel de deterioro del funcionamiento de la personalidad. El desarrollo de este modelo alternativo llevó a cabo el Inventario de la Personalidad para el DSM-5 (PID-5; Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson y Skodol, 2012) que valora la presencia y el nivel de los siguientes rasgos patológicos de la personalidad: afectividad negativa, desapego, antagonismo, desinhibición y psicoticismo. Estos rasgos patológicos de la personalidad se consideran variantes mal adaptadas de las dimensiones básicas de la personalidad descritas por el Modelo de los cinco grandes (neuroticismo, extraversión, amabilidad, responsabilidad y apertura a nuevas experiencias, Thomas et al., 2013). Enfocaremos nuestro análisis en las investigaciones previas que tratan el tema de resultados interpersonales relacionados con los rasgos patológicos de la personalidad PID-5 y sugeriremos posibles direcciones para las investigaciones futuras

The dark side of humor: DSM-5 pathological personality traits and humor styles

Basic personality traits (e.g., extraversion) have been found to be associated with the humor styles that individuals employ. In the present study, we were interested in determining whether pathological personality traits were also associated with humor styles. We examined the associations between the pathological personality traits captured by the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5) and humor styles in a sample of college students (N = 594). Negative affectivity and detachment were negatively associated with the affiliative and self-enhancing humor styles. Antagonism was positively associated with the aggressive humor style but negatively associated with the affiliative humor style. Disinhibition was positively associated with the aggressive humor style, whereas disinhibition and psychoticism were both positively associated with the self-defeating humor style. Discussion focuses on the implications of these findings and how they can expand our understanding of the connections between the darker aspects of personality and humor

Pathological Personality Traits and Criminogenic Thinking Styles

The present research investigated associations between pathological personality traits and criminogenic thinking styles. Study 1 examined the associations between pathological personality traits and criminogenic thinking styles among 122 community members, whereas Study 2 examined these associations among 299 incarcerated male offenders. Negative affectivity and detachment each had unique positive associations with cognitive immaturity, and antagonism was positively associated with the desire to control others across both studies. Disinhibition had unique positive associations with control and cognitive immaturity among incarcerated offenders in Study 2, whereas psychoticism was positively associated with cognitive immaturity and egocentrism across both studies. The results of these studies suggest important connections between pathological personality traits and criminogenic thinking styles that may shed light on some of the difficulties that often accompany personality pathology

The darker angels of our nature: Do social worldviews mediate the associations that dark personality features have with ideological attitudes?

The present studies examined the associations that narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, sadism, and spitefulness had with the competitive and dangerous social worldviews as well as the possibility that these worldviews may explain, at least in part, the associations that these dark personality features had with the ideological attitudes of social dominance orientation (SDO) and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA). Across three studies (N = 2,103), we found the dark personality features to be positively associated with the competitive social worldview in Studies 1 and 3 but these associations were much weaker in Study 2. Narcissism, psychopathy, and spitefulness had indirect associations with the dominance and anti-egalitarianism aspects of SDO through the competitive social worldview in Study 3 but not in Study 2. In contrast, the dark personality features had, at best, weak associations with the dangerous social worldview as well as divergent associations with RWA. More specifically, narcissism and spitefulness were positively associated with aspects of RWA but psychopathy was negatively associated with RWA. Discussion focuses on the role that social worldviews – especially those pertaining to perceptions of the world as a highly competitive environment – may play in the connections that dark personality features have with various outcomes including ideological attitudes
