Maladaptive Personality Traits and Personality Functioning (PFS-A) in an Argentine Community Sample

Abstract

This dataset comprises responses from an Argentine community sample (N = 706) collected to examine pathological personality traits and levels of personality functioning within contemporary dimensional models of personality pathology. The database includes scores from two instruments: (a) the Argentine adaptation of the PID-5, assessing 25 maladaptive personality facets and 5 higher-order domains, and (b) a newly developed Argentine measure of Personality Functioning aligned with Criterion A of the AMPD. Sociodemographic variables (e.g., age, gender) are also provided. All data have been fully anonymized and contain no identifying information. This dataset enables research on dimensional models of personality pathology, psychometric evaluation, and the structure of maladaptive traits and personality functioning.
