Confirmatory factor analyses established a clear three-factor structure that corresponds to the postulated subdivision of the construct into correlated somatic, social, and cognitive components. Participants with different primary clinical diagnoses differed from each other on the ASI-3 subscales in theoretically meaningful ways. Specifically, the ASI-3 successfully discriminated patients with anxiety disorders from patients with nonanxiety disorders. Moreover, patients with panic disorder or agoraphobia manifested more somatic concerns than patients with other anxiety disorders and patients with nonanxiety disorders. Finally, correlations of the ASI-3 scales with other measures of clinical symptoms and negative affect substantiated convergent and discriminant validity. Substantial positive correlations were found between the ASI-3 Somatic Concerns and body vigilance, between Social Concerns and fear of negative evaluation and socially inhibited behavior, and between Cognitive Concerns and depression symptoms, anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, and subjective complaints. Moreover, Social Concerns correlated negatively with dominant and intrusive behavior. Results are discussed with respect to the contribution of the ASI-3 to the assessment of anxiety-related disorders.}, language = {en} } @misc{MorfSchuerchKuefneretal.2017, author = {Morf, Carolyn C. and Sch{\"u}rch, Eva and K{\"u}fner, Albrecht and Siegrist, Philip and Vater, Aline and Back, Mitja and Mestel, Robert and Schr{\"o}der-Ab{\´e}, Michela}, title = {Expanding the nomological net of the pathological narcissism inventory}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {410}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-405182}, pages = {25}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI) is a multidimensional measure for assessing grandiose and vulnerable features in narcissistic pathology. The aim of the present research was to construct and validate a German translation of the PNI and to provide further information on the PNI's nomological net. Findings from a first study confirm the psychometric soundness of the PNI and replicate its seven-factor first-order structure. A second-order structure was also supported but with several equivalent models. A second study investigating associations with a broad range of measures (DSM Axis I and II constructs, emotions, personality traits, interpersonal and dysfunctional behaviors, and well-being) supported the concurrent validity of the PNI. Discriminant validity with the Narcissistic Personality Inventory was also shown. Finally, in a third study an extension in a clinical inpatient sample provided further evidence that the PNI is a useful tool to assess the more pathological end of narcissism.}, language = {en} } @misc{MorfSchurchKufeneretal.2017, author = {Morf, Carolyn C. and Schurch, Eva and Kufener, Albrecht and Siegrist, Philip and Vater, Aline and Back, Mitja and Mestel, Robert and Schr{\"o}der-Abe, Michela}, title = {Expanding the Nomological Net of the Pathological Narcissism Inventory: German Validation and Extension in a Clinical Inpatient Sample}, series = {Assessment}, volume = {24}, journal = {Assessment}, publisher = {Sage Publ.}, address = {Thousand Oaks}, issn = {1073-1911}, doi = {10.1177/1073191115627010}, pages = {419 -- 443}, year = {2017}, language = {en} }
