This study has been designed to evaluate and replicate the psychometric properties of the Dimensional
Assessment of Personality Psychopathology-Basic Questionnaire (DAPP-BQ) and the DAPP-BQ short form (DAPP-SF)
in a large Spanish general population sample. Additionally, we have generated a reduced form called DAPP-90, using a
strategy based on a structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology in two independent samples, a calibration and a
validation sample. The DAPP-90 scales obtained a more satisfactory fit on SEM adjustment values (average: TLI > .97
and RMSEA < .04) respect to full DAPP-BQ and the 136-item version. According to the factorial congruency coefficients,
the DAPP-90 obtains a similar structure to the DAPP-BQ and the DAPP-SF. The DAPP-90 internal consistency is accept-
able, with a Cronbach’s alpha mean of .75. We did not find any differences in the pattern of relations between the two
DAPP-BQ shortened versions and the SCL-90-R factors. The new 90-items version is especially useful when it is difficult
to use the long version for diverse reasons, such as the assessment of patients in hospital consultation or in brief psycho-
logical assessments.
