Rg. Goldman et al., RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TRIDIMENSIONAL PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE ANDDSM-III-R PERSONALITY-TRAITS, The American journal of psychiatry, 151(2), 1994, pp. 274-276
The authors investigated the relationship between Cloninger's personal
ity dimensions and DSM-III-R personality traits by comparison of score
s on the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire with axis II traits
found in structured interviews with 99 patients. Consistent with theor
etical predictions, axis II pathology was significantly related to per
sonality dimensions after the effects of axis I disorders were control
led for.
