Objective: To explore the construct validity of of the self-rated questionnaire of the SCID-II for antisocial personality disorder in female and male adults from the general population of Bucaramanga, Colombia. Method: A validation study, without a gold standard, was designed to explore the construct validity of the scale for antisocial personality disorder of the SCID-II. A probabilistic sample of 2,496 18- to 65-year adults resident in the urban area of Bucaramanga, Colombia, completed the questionnaire for antisocial personality disorder of the SCID-II. The mean age of participants was 38.0 years (SD = 13.5); 69.7% were women; the mean formal scholarship was 9.2 years (SD = 4.1); 49.1% were workers; 58.1% had a stable marital relationship; and 67.8% were living in middle-class neighbourhoods.

Results: In the total población four factors were extrated that accounted for 47.7% of the variance; among females, five salient factors were identified that explained 52.2% of the variance; and among males, four factor were extracted responsible for 50.2 of the variance. Conclusions: The scale for antisocial personality disorder of the SCID-II exhibits a differential factor solution for men and for women.http://caribdis.unab.edu.co/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/REVISTAMEDUNAB/PERSONALIDAD%20ANTISOCIAL.PDFPersonality disordersgeneral populationadultconstruct validityvalidation studies |
