AbstractThis submission contains data and codebooks from several personality studies conducted 1990-2017, organized by assessment instrument. For demographic information about the study participants, please refer to Background Information Questionnaire (BIQ) - Personality Studies (http://d-scholarship.pitt.edu/id/eprint/35424). Studies: 1. Interpersonal Functioning in Borderline Personality ("Interpersonal Functioning") Description: (From Stepp,et al, 2011)Through structured questions and probes that explore the range of functioning in each domain, a trained interviewer rates each domain on a nine-point scale according to severity and pervasiveness of dysfunction. For example, a ‘1’ rating on romantic relationships requires temporal stability, positive trust, marked confiding, and enjoyment, whereas a ‘9’ rating requires the absence of sustained committed relationships or the maintenance of relationships in the face of sustained discord or violence. This interview provides a standard structure and operationalization for coding dysfunction in each domain. Data Notes: In the Couples’ Study, information gleaned from the Interpersonal Relations Assessment (IRA) was used to make RAPFA ratings of dysfunction in the various domains. Reliability: (From Beeney et al 2016): The intraclass correlation coefficient for the total RAPFA score was .84. (From Hill et al., 2007): Studies of inter-rater reliability were performed in both Pittsburgh and Liverpool. In ittsburgh, 10 cases throughout the course of the study were rated by an average of seven judges. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for ratings of overall severity in the domain of work was 0.90; romantic relationships, 0.87; friendships, 0.82; and non-specific social contacts, 0.75. In Liverpool, 25 vignettes were rated by three judges for DD, and the ICC was 0.79. Once the concept of DD was adequately operationalized, the Pittsburgh team incorporated this rating into its consensus conferences for the final 42 participants. The inter-site (Pittsburgh versus Liverpool) correlation for DD on these cases was 0.82. (From Stepp, et al, 2011): Throughout the course of the study, 10 cases were randomly selected as reliability cases and were rated by an average of seven judges to measure inter-rater reliability. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the total RAPFA score in the current study was .84. References: Beeney, J. E., Wright, A. G. C., Stepp, S. D., Hallquist, M. N., Lazarus, S.
