What this Trial Is About

Researchers are exploring the reliability of a new model designed to understand personality disorders by using evolutionary concepts. This study aims to confirm that the initial validity findings of this model apply across different cultures and countries. It involves psychology students from China, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United States. Participants will undergo specific training on the model through online sessions, including a recorded presentation, live experiential training with clinical cases, and exercises applying the model to case transcripts and assessment reports. A smaller group will participate in structured interviews to evaluate how acceptable and useful the model is. During the study, participants will be evaluated on how consistently they apply the model to the same patient cases, with supervisors scoring their adherence. The primary outcome is the cross-cultural agreement in assessments, measured within one month from recruitment. The study includes assessments of model acceptability and involves about 110 students in total.
