Construct Validity: Advances in Theory and Methodology (2009, background): “It may be that parsimony would be better served by describing personality dysfunction in terms of a set of core, homogeneous personality traits rather than in terms of combinations of disparate, moderately related symptoms (Widiger & Trull 2007).”
Exploring the Relations Among Executive Functions, Fluid Intelligence, and Personality (2009, result): “The notion that EFs should be associated with both " normal " and " abnormal " aspects of personality is consistent with newer models of PD that conceptualize these disorders as extreme and problematic configurations of general personality traits (Widiger & Trull, 2007).”
A meta-analytic review of the relationships between the five-factor model and DSM-IV-TR personality disorders: a facet level analysis. (2008, result): “Nevertheless, the findings are consistent with the hypothesis that maladaptive personality traits can be understood as abnormal variants of general personality traits (Widiger & Trull, 2007).”
The bright and dark sides of leader traits: A review and theoretical extension of the leader trait paradigm (2009, background): “This point notwithstanding, as Widiger and colleagues (Widiger, 2005; Widiger & Trull, 2007) have shown, there is no necessary conflict between psychopathy and extreme scores of " normal " personality measures (personality measures intended for normal populations, or distributions of scores in…”
Public Health Significance of Neuroticism (2009, background): “For example, it has been suggested that mental health clinicians routinely administer a five-factor personality scale to determine if more extensive assessments of personality disorders related to neuroticism and other traits should be conducted (Widiger & Trull, 2007).”

Interpersonal Dynamics in Personality and Personality Disorders (2018, background): “These perspectives are beginning to align as it becomes increasingly clear that trait models from basic personality science are empirically superior to the PD categories in accounting for stable traits (Clark, 2007; Krueger & Markon, 2014; Morey et al., 2007; Widiger & Trull, 2007).”
Comparing clinical and social-personality conceptualizations of narcissism. (2008, background): “A number of prominent PD theorists (e.g., Widiger & Trull, 2007 ) have proposed replacing the current diagnostic model for PDs with a dimensional model of general or maladaptive personality or a model incorporating both.”
A Cybernetic Theory of Psychopathology (2018, background): “…trait dimensions as normal personality measures, and this is true not only of the so-called personality disorders but of mental disorders more generally (Griffith et al., 2010; Markon, Krueger, & Watson, 2005; Suzuki, Samuel, Pahlen, & Krueger, 2015; Stepp et al., 2012; Widiger & Trull, 2007).”
Emotion-based Dispositions to Rash Action: Positive and Negative Urgency (2008, neutral): “Thus, this model may represent another example of the fruitfulness of understanding human functioning, and its maladaptive variants, along a continuum (Widiger & Trull, 2007).”
