Abstract: A simple method is presented for examining the hierarchical structure of a set of variables, based on factor scores from rotated solutions involving one to many factors. The correlations among orthogonal factor scores from adjoining levels can be viewed as path coeYcients in a hierarchical structure. The method is easily implemented using any of a wide variety of standard computer programs, and it has proved to be extremely useful in a number of diverse applications, some of which are here described.

TL;DR: The HiTOP promises to improve research and clinical practice by addressing the aforementioned shortcomings of traditional nosologies and provides an effective way to summarize and convey information on risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology, phenomenology, illness course, and treatment response.

TL;DR: The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) as discussed by the authors is based on empirical patterns of co-occurrence among psychological symptoms, and it has the potential to accelerate and improve research on mental health problems as well as efforts to more effectively assess, prevent, and treat mental illness.
The Structure of Musical Preferences: A Five-Factor Model
TL;DR: A model of musical preferences based on listeners' affective reactions to excerpts of music from a wide variety of musical genres is introduced, suggesting that there exists a latent 5-factor structure underlying music preferences that is genre free and reflects primarily emotional/affective responses to music.
On the structure of personality disorder traits: conjoint analyses of the CAT-PD, PID-5, and NEO-PI-3 trait models.
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that the CAT-PD-SF adheres to the consensual structure of broad trait domains at the five-factor level, and strengthen the argument for using broad dimensions that span normative and pathological functioning to scaffold a quantitatively derived phenotypic structure of psychopathology.

The CES-D Scale: A Self-Report Depression Scale for Research in the General Population
TL;DR: The CES-D scale as discussed by the authors is a short self-report scale designed to measure depressive symptomatology in the general population, which has been used in household interview surveys and in psychiatric settings.

TL;DR: The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) has been developed to offer a means of reliably measuring dissociation in normal and clinical populations and was able to distinguish between subjects with a dissociative disorder (multiple personality) and all other subjects.

Delineating the Structure of Normal and Abnormal Personality: An Integrative Hierarchical Approach.
TL;DR: A constructive replication approach was used to delineate an integrative hierarchical account of the structure of normal and abnormal personality, which integrates many Big Trait models proposed in the literature and provides insight into the nature of personality hierarchy more generally.
