Personality beliefs questionnaire: factor structure and reliability in a Bulgarian adolescent sample

Summary/Abstract: The current study presents the Bulgarian approbation of the Personality Belief Questionnaire–Short Form (PBQ-SF) (Leute et al., 2012). PBQ-SF is an instrument, which is designed to assess dysfunctional beliefs associated with the personality disorders on Axis II of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, used in both clinical and research settings (APA, 2000). Sample size is 988 adolescents; age range is from 13 to 19 years, Listwise N= 618. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted based on the expected nine-factor structure, but only one original subscale was reproduced. Data show high levels of internal consistency. Relationships/links among personality beliefs were analyzed via correlation analysis. Significant gender differences were found in 5 of the factors. Results affirm instrument’s psychometric characteristics and its application perspectives with Bulgarian adolescents.
