Structural validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of PID-5: Study on community and student sample

Abstract

Many studies have evaluated the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) validity and reliability. Unfortunately, research on PID-5 in Southeast Asian countries is still limited. This study aimed to identify the structural validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of PID-5. We involved 963 participants, and 68 of these participants filled the PID-5 twice. Facets and domains showed a satisfactory test–retest reliability (median r for facets = .84; median r for domains = .88), and acceptable McDonald’s omega indices (median ω for facets = .85; median ω for domains = .79). The hierarchical factor structure suggested that five-factor solution was interpretable, and this model showed a high congruency to its original version (ϕ = .97). Unfortunately, we could not achieve a model fit of this five-factor model. We hypothesized that the cultural influence and sample characteristics might explain this poor model fit. Finally, cautious administration and interpretation of PID-5 in Indonesia are highly recommended.
