Background: despite the fact that new criteria of antisocial personality disorder (aspd) in diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-fi fth edition (dsm-5) were resulted from fi ve-factor model (ffm),there is a small amount of studies that investigate the relations between proposed personality traits and ffm. also,cross-cultural study in this fi eld continuously would be needed. th e aim of the present study was to evaluate the relation between the ffm and dsm-5 aspd pathological traits. materials and methods: th is study was a crosssectional study design. th e participants consisted of 122 individuals with aspd that selected from prisoners (73.0%),outpatients (18.0%),and inpatients (9.0%). th ey were recruited from tehran prisoners,and clinical psychology and psychiatry clinics of razi and taleghani hospitals,tehran,iran,since 2013-2014. th e sample was selected based on judgmental sampling. th e structured clinical interview for dsm-iv axis ii disorders-personality questionnaire,neo-personality inventory-revised,and dsm-5 personality trait rating form were used to diagnosis and assessment of personality disorder. pearson correlation has been used for data analysis. all statistical analyses were performed using the spss 16 software. results: th e results indicate that neuroticism (n) has positive signifi cant relationship with hostility (r = 0.33,p < 0.01),manipulativeness (r = 0.25,p < 0.01),deceitfulness (r =.23,p < 0.01),impulsivity (r = 0.20,p < 0.05),and negative relation with risk taking (r = −0.23,p < 0.01). also,there was signifi cant relationship between extraversion (e) with manipulativeness (r = 0.28,p < 0.01) and deceitfulness (r = 0.32,p < 0.01). agreeableness and conscientiousness have negative signifi cant relation with dsm-5 traits. in addition,results showed that there is positive signifi cant relationship between ffm and dsm-5 personality traits with dsm-fourth edition-text revision (dsm-iv-tr) aspd symptoms (p < 0.01). conclusion: except manipulativeness,deceitfulness,and callousness,there is positively signifi cant relationship between dsm-5 aspd traits and dsm-iv-tr aspd symptoms. th e present study helps to understand the adequacy of dimensional approach to evaluation of aspd pathology,specifi cally on iranian sample. © 2015 journal of research in medical sciences.
