Among others, its objectives include investigating its psychometric properties and the development of preliminary norms. For the project, non-clinical adult data were collected from a community sample (n\u00a0= 729) and from students (n\u00a0= 629). To determine if the data can be combined into a single adult sample for further research, this initial study seeks to investigate if there are any differences across the student and community samples. No meaningful group differences would suggest that the data can be merged, while differences would suggest that the student and community data should be further analysed separately. To that end, the present study investigated: (1) Differential Item Functioning (DIF) and (2) group differences on the PID-5-SF across the student and community data. Analyses using the \u2018lordif\u2019 package in R found no meaningful DIF based on McFadden\u2019s pseudo-R-square thresholds. In addition, no substantive group differences were observed on any of PID-5-SF\u2019s 25 facets.Contribution:\u00a0This study shows that student data collected on the PID-5-SF can, in the present case, be considered representative of the broader community. In turn, this facilitates further ongoing work on its psychometric properties and the development of preliminary norms. In this way, it will contribute to the international literature on the PID-5-SF\u2019s psychometric functioning and enable further applied research on personality disorders among practitioners and researchers in South Africa.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/ajopa.v7i0.175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,15]],"date-time":"2025-09-15T10:12:56Z","timestamp":1757931176000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Examining differential item functioning and group differences across student and community samples on the Personality Inventory for the DSM-V-Short Form"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7644-2628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Casper J.J.","family":"Van Zyl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association (APA).
