family relationships and Personality disorder functioning styles in paranoid schizophrenia
Personality and Individual Differences, 2020Co-Authors: Minggang Jiang, Xu Shao, Wei Wang, Yan Zhang, Yupeng Yan, Hong Chen, Hongying FanAbstract:Abstract Dysfunctional family relationships are prominent factors influencing Personality development and psychiatric disorder progression, but the detailed relationships between Personality disorders and family relationships in schizophrenia are less studied. In this study, we invited 92 paranoid schizophrenia patients and 76 healthy volunteers to answer the Family Relationship Questionnaire (FRQ) and the Parker Personality Measure (PERM). Compared to controls, patients scored higher on Paternal/ Maternal Abuse, but lower on General Attachment, Paternal Encouragement and Paternal/ Maternal Freedom Release. Patients also scored higher on all PERM styles except the Obsessive-Compulsive. In controls, Paternal Freedom Release predicted Paranoid (-), Maternal Abuse predicted Schizoid, General Attachment predicted Schizotypal (-), Histrionic (-) and Narcissistic (-), Paternal Abuse predicted Antisocial, and Maternal Freedom Release predicted Avoidant (-). While in patients, Paternal Abuse predicted Schizotypal, Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic, Dependent, and Passive-Aggressive. In conclusion, there were prominent family relationships and Personality problems in schizophrenia, and the family relationships, especially paternal abuse, were associated with Personality disorder functioning styles. Therefore, the intervention of paternal abuse in the early life might beneficial to reducing Personality disorder traits in schizophrenia.

short form of the zuckerman kuhlman aluja Personality questionnaire its trait and facet relationships with Personality disorder functioning styles in chinese general and clinical samples
Psychiatry Research-neuroimaging, 2019Co-Authors: Chu Wang, Xu Shao, Anton Aluja, Wei WangAbstract:Five-factor model of Personality trait Measures displays predictable associations with Personality disorder features in both general and clinical populations. Facet-level Measures such as the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire offer more detailed associations in these aspects. Recently, a short form of this questionnaire (ZKA-PQ/SF), with five traits and four facets under each trait, has been developed for further application of Personality Measures in a reasonable short time. We hypothesized that ZKA-PQ/SF displays predictable associations with Personality disorder functioning styles in both general and clinical populations. We therefore in China, invited 446 healthy volunteers and 112 Personality disorder patients to undergo the tests of ZKA-PQ/SF, the Parker Personality Measure (PERM) and the Plutchik-van Praag Depression Inventory. Patients scored significantly higher on all PERM styles and on ZKA-PQ/SF Neuroticism and Aggressiveness traits and some of their facets, and lower on ZKA-PQ/SF Extraversion and its facets, and on Work Energy facet of Activity. ZKA-PQ/SF traits and some facets displayed associations with PERM styles supporting previous documentation, while those trait- and facet-related associations were even more specific in patients. Our results thus support the ZKA-PQ/SF application in clinical practice to aid the psychological explanation and the diagnosis of Personality disorders, at least in Chinese culture.

Hypochondriac concerns and correlates of Personality styles and affective states in bipolar I and II disorders
BMC, 2018Co-Authors: Bing Pan, Qing Zhang, Huitzong Tsai, Bingren Zhang, Wei WangAbstract:Abstract Background Hypochondriac concerns are associated with the treatment-difficulty of bipolar disorder, which might be due to the Personality styles and affective states. Methods We invited outpatients with bipolar I disorder (BD I, n = 87), bipolar II disorder (BD II, n = 92) and healthy volunteers (n = 129) to undergo the Illness Attitude Scales and Parker Personality Measure tests, and Measurements of concurrent affective states. Results Compared to healthy volunteers, BD I and BD II patients scored significantly higher on mania, hypomania and depression. BD I and BD II patients also scored significantly higher on Symptom Effect and Treatment Seeking, and BD II patients scored higher on Patho-thanatophobia and Hypochondriacal Belief. BD II in addition scored higher on Patho-thanatophobia than BD I did. In controls, the Dependent style predicted Patho-thanatophobia and Symptom Effect, Schizoid with Hypochondriacal Belief; in BD I, Narcissistic (−) with Hypochondriacal Belief, Histrionic with Patho-thanatophobia and Hypochondriacal Belief, depression with Hypochondriacal Belief, and hypomania with Symptom Effect and Hypochondriacal Belief; in BD II, depression with Symptom Effect and Hypochondriacal Belief, mania with Symptom Effect. Conclusions Bipolar disorder, especially BD II, is associated with greater hypochondriac concerns, which relates to Personality disorder functioning styles and concurrent affective states

relationship between Personality disorder functioning styles and the emotional states in bipolar i and ii disorders
PLOS ONE, 2015Co-Authors: Jiashu Yao, Wei Wang, Yanhua Qin, Jing Liu, Yuedi Shen, Wei ChenAbstract:Background Bipolar disorder types I (BD I) and II (BD II) behave differently in clinical manifestations, normal Personality traits, responses to pharmacotherapies, biochemical backgrounds and neuroimaging activations. How the varied emotional states of BD I and II are related to the comorbid Personality disorders remains to be settled. Methods We therefore administered the Plutchick – van Praag Depression Inventory (PVP), the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), the Hypomanic Checklist-32 (HCL-32), and the Parker Personality Measure (PERM) in 37 patients with BD I, 34 BD II, and in 76 healthy volunteers. Results Compared to the healthy volunteers, patients with BD I and II scored higher on some PERM styles, PVP, MDQ and HCL-32 scales. In BD I, the PERM Borderline style predicted the PVP scale; and Antisocial predicted HCL-32. In BD II, Borderline, Dependant, Paranoid (-) and Schizoid (-) predicted PVP; Borderline predicted MDQ; Passive-Aggressive and Schizoid (-) predicted HCL-32. In controls, Borderline and Narcissistic (-) predicted PVP; Borderline and Dependant (-) predicted MDQ. Conclusion Besides confirming the different predictability of the 11 functioning styles of Personality disorder to BD I and II, we found that the prediction was more common in BD II, which might underlie its higher risk of suicide and poorer treatment outcome.

preliminary study of relationships between hypnotic susceptibility and Personality disorder functioning styles in healthy volunteers and Personality disorder patients
BMC Psychiatry, 2011Co-Authors: Fenghua Wang, Wanzhen Chen, Jingyi Huang, Peiwei Xu, Wei He, Hao Chai, Wenjun Yu, Li Chen, Wei WangAbstract:Hypnotic susceptibility is one of the stable characteristics of individuals, but not closely related to the Personality traits such as those Measured by the five-factor model in the general population. Whether it is related to the Personality disorder functioning styles remains unanswered. In 77 patients with Personality disorders and 154 healthy volunteers, we administered the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSSC) and the Parker Personality Measure (PERM) tests. Patients with Personality disorders showed higher passing rates on SHSSC Dream and Posthypnotic Amnesia items. No significant correlation was found in healthy volunteers. In the patients however, SHSSC Taste hallucination (β = 0.26) and Anosmia to Ammonia (β = -0.23) were significantly correlated with the PERM Borderline style; SHSSC Posthypnotic Amnesia was correlated with the PERM Schizoid style (β = 0.25) but negatively the PERM Narcissistic style (β = -0.23). Our results provide limited evidence that could help to understand the abnormal cognitions in Personality disorders, such as their hallucination and memory distortions.

the chinese Personality assessment inventory as a culturally relevant Personality Measure in applied settings
Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 2008Co-Authors: Fanny M Cheung, Weiqiao FanAbstract:This paper introduces the development of the Cross-Cultural (Chinese) Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI) as a culturally relevant Measure for Personality assessment in collectivistic cultures. In addition to universal Personality traits, the CPAI included indigenously derived scales that assessed the relational aspects of Personality. We reported three studies that illustrated the usefulness of these indigenous scales in Chinese organizational settings. The Interpersonal Relatedness factor scales on the CPAI contributed additional value beyond scales from the universal factors of Social Potency and Dependability in profiling MBA students at senior-level positions, in assessing hotel workers’ customer orientation, and in predicting senior executives’ leadership behaviors.

situational judgment tests as an alternative Measure for Personality assessment
European Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2018Co-Authors: Patrick Mussel, Thomas Gatzka, Johannes HewigAbstract:Abstract. Across many domains of applied psychology, Personality traits are related to important outcomes such as well-being, psychological disorders, work performance, and academic achievement. However, self-reports, the most common approach to Personality assessment, have certain limitations and disadvantages, such as being prone to faking. We investigated whether situational judgment tests, an established assessment technique to predict job performance, might serve as an alternative Measure for the assessment of Personality. Our results show that a situational judgment test specifically developed to assess narrow Personality traits may possess high levels of construct validity. Additionally, our results indicate that the situational judgment was equivalent to a self-report Personality Measure with regard to predicting a number of theoretically related criteria. We conclude that situational judgment tests may serve as an alternative method for the assessment of Personality and discuss potential theoreti...

sexual risk behaviors in the adolescent offspring of parents with bipolar disorder prospective associations with parents Personality and externalizing behavior in childhood
Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Rami Nijjar, Mark A Ellenbogen, Sheilagh HodginsAbstract:We recently reported that adolescent and young adult offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (OBD), relative to control offspring, were more likely to engage in sexual risk behaviors (SRBs). The present prospective study aimed to determine the contribution of parents' Personality and offspring behaviour problems in middle childhood to offspring SRBs 10 years later. We hypothesized that offspring externalizing problems in childhood would mediate the relationship between parents' Personality traits of neuroticism and agreeableness and adolescent SRBs. Furthermore, we expected these associations to be more robust among the OBD than controls. At baseline, 102 offspring (52 OBD and 50 controls) aged between 4 and 14 years were assessed along with their parents, who completed a self-report Personality Measure and child behavior rating. Behaviour ratings were also obtained from the children's teachers. Ten years later the offspring completed an interview assessing SRBs. Mediation analyses using bootstrapping revealed that, after controlling for age and presence of an affective disorder, externalizing behaviors served as a pathway through which high parental neuroticism, low parental agreeableness, and low parental extraversion were related to SRBs in offspring. Moderated mediation analyses revealed that the relationship between parental neuroticism and childhood externalizing problems was stronger for OBD than controls. These findings add to our previous results showing parents' Personality contributes to intergenerational risk transfer through behavioral problems in middle childhood. These results carry implications for optimal timing of preventative interventions in the OBD.
