Discussion<br />

• Good construct validity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>CAPP</strong> domains<br />

in <strong>the</strong> German translation<br />

• Cross-validation for some domains<br />

(Attachment, Behavioral, Cognitive <strong>and</strong> Self)<br />

• What about <strong>the</strong> excluded symp<strong>to</strong>ms?<br />

• Indication <strong>of</strong> an overarching super-<strong>fac<strong>to</strong>r</strong><br />

• <strong>CAPP</strong> domains largely captured by <strong>the</strong> FFM<br />

• Nomological validity (-A <strong>and</strong> -C)<br />
