The PDS-5 has recently been shown to possess sound psychometric properties and awaits cross-cultural validation. The present study aimed first, to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the PDS-5; second, to evaluate alternative factor models of DSM-5 PTSD symptoms with multiple trauma samples. Data were collected from five samples of Taiwanese trauma-exposed individuals (total N = 903): 138 burn injury survivors, 403 earthquake survivors, 181 trauma-exposed young adults, 91 trauma-exposed undergraduates, and 90 female domestic violence survivors. The Chinese PDS-5 possessed excellent internal consistency (α s =.94–.95) and satisfactory five-week (r =.80) and one-year temporal stability (r = 0.76). Convergent, concurrent, and discriminant validity were also established. Consistent with recent studies, confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated the best fit of a seven-factor Hybrid model, followed by a six-factor Anhedonia model across multiple trauma samples. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG5[SDGs]SDG16adolescent; adult; aged; anhedonia; anxiety assessment; Article; burn survivor; Chinese (language); concurrent validity; confirmatory factor analysis; convergent validity; disaster victim; discriminant validity; domestic violence; DSM-5; earthquake; female; human; internal consistency; male; Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale for DSM 5; posttraumatic stress disorder; self report; Taiwanese; translating (language); undergraduate student; young adult; Asian continental ancestry group; burn; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; factor analysis; middle aged; multiple trauma; posttraumatic stress disorder; psychology; psychometry; publication; reproducibility; student; survivor; Taiwan; Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Anhedonia; Asian Continental Ancestry Group; Burns; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; Domestic Violence; Earthquakes; Factor Analysis, Statistical; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Multiple Trauma; Psychometrics; Reproducibility of Results; Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic; Students; Survivors; Taiwan; Translations; Young AdultDimensionality of DSM-5 PTSD symptoms: Validation of the Chinese version of the posttraumatic diagnostic scale for DSM-5 across multiple trauma samplesjournal article10.1016/j.janxdis.2020.102261325801192-s2.0-85087070151WOS:000571727500008
