This study developed and validated a scale to analyze Six-Part Story Method (6PSM) narratives. An eight-item scale effectively differentiates borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients from others, showing good reliability and validity.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy
  • Creative Arts Therapies

Background:

  • The Six-Part Story Method (6PSM) is a widely used projective tool in dramatherapy.
  • Despite its use, 6PSM has lacked formal validation and reliability studies.
  • This research addresses the need for psychometric evaluation of the 6PSM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify scale items for describing the manifest content of Six-Part Stories.
  • To develop a reliable and valid scale for analyzing 6PSM narratives.
  • To assess the scale's ability to differentiate individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Main Methods:

  • Identification of 26 statements with acceptable inter-rater reliability for story content analysis.
  • Rating of stories from clinicians, community mental health patients, and BPD patients.

  • Development and validation of an eight-item scale using test-retest and inter-rater reliability measures.
  • Concurrent validity testing against SCID-II, CORE-OM, and IIP-32.

    • Main Results:

    • 26 statements were identified with good inter-rater reliability.
    • An eight-item scale was developed that reliably differentiates authors with BPD from others.
    • The scale demonstrated adequate test-retest and inter-rater reliability.
    • Concurrent validity was supported through comparisons with established diagnostic and outcome measures.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully developed a psychometrically sound scale for analyzing Six-Part Stories.
    • The validated scale can aid in the assessment and understanding of narrative content, particularly in relation to BPD.
    • This contributes to the empirical foundation of the Six-Part Story Method in clinical practice.
