To effectively support individuals with personality disorders, it is essential to determine the most reliable approaches to classification, treatment and diagnosis. This thesis evaluated and compared three instruments designed to assess the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders within a non-clinical sample. It also investigated how these measures were related to aggression. The results revealed inconsistencies across the measures, suggesting that different diagnostic outcomes may arise depending on the measure utilised. The findings also highlighted the importance of personality impairment and maladaptive personality traits, particularly hostility, to the assessment and treatment of aggression.
