TEST-RETEST STABILITY, MOOD-STATE DEPENDENCE, AND INFORMANT-SUBJECT CONCORDANCE OF THE SCID-AXIS-II QUESTIONNAIRE IN A NONCLINICAL SAMPLE

Ten week temporal stability and informant-subject concordance for the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Axis II Questionnaire (SCI D-IIQ) was examined in a nonclinical sample. In addition, internal con sistency and the effects of depressed mood state on the personality sc ales were assessed. Results indicated that the personality scales were reasonably stable over time, not influenced by state depression, and relatively concordant with informant reports. However, the internal co nsistency of the scales was moderate-low. Future research should evalu ate the diagnostic efficiency of the SCID-IIQ.
