- Abstract:
- The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) provides a comprehensive description of psychopathology and maladaptive personality traits but does not include etiological theorizing. Psychodynamic theory offers such theorizing, describing motivational conflicts that can be processed either in active (progressive) or passive (regressive) modes. We related motivational conflicts to HiTOP dimensions for the first time. Two studies (four samples, N = 580) showed replicable associations: passive conflict processing displayed stronger and more distributed associations with psychopathology, whereas active processing was associated with lower, yet more specific psychopathology. Particular symptoms were associated with different conflicts, showing that different etiological factors may underlie similar psychopathological signs. Motivational dynamics offer guidance for diagnosis and treatment of psychopathology.
