Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used to compare the fit of the previous 3-factor DSM-IV model of PTSD to the 4-factor model specified in DSM-5 as well as to a competing 4-factor \u201cdysphoria\u201d model (Simms, Watson, &amp; Doebbeling, 2002) and a 5-factor (Elhai et al., 2011) model of PTSD. Results indicated that the Elhai 5-factor model (re-experiencing, active avoidance, emotional numbing, dysphoric arousal, anxious arousal) provided the best fit to the data, although substantial support was demonstrated for the DSM-5 4-factor model. Low factor loadings were noted for two of the symptoms in the DSM-5 model (psychogenic amnesia and reckless\/self-destructive behavior), which raises questions regarding the adequacy of fit of these symptoms with other core features of the disorder. Overall, the findings from the present research suggest the DSM-5 model of PTSD is a significant improvement over the previous DSM-IV model of PTSD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5127\/pr.035914","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,14]],"date-time":"2015-02-14T07:07:08Z","timestamp":1423897628000},"page":"17-29","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Latent Factor Structure of DSM-5 Posttraumatic Stress Disorder"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"a2","author":[{"given":"Emily","family":"Gentes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"The VA Mid-Atlantic Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul A.","family":"Dennis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"VA Center for Health Services Research in Primary Care; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathan A.","family":"Kimbrel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angela C.","family":"Kirby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The VA Mid-Atlantic Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauren P.","family":"Hair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"VA Center for Health Services Research in Primary Care; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean C.","family":"Beckham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick S.","family":"Calhoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Durham, NC, USA"},{"name":"VA Center for Health Services Research in Primary Care; Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-pr.035914","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"AkaikeH.
