The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties and cross-cultural validity of the Differentiation of Self Inventory-Revised (Skowron & Schmitt, 2003) and Mental Health Inventory-18 (Veit & Ware, 1983) and to determine whether the Bowenian construct of differentiation could predict general mental health. In a sample of 322 Filipino adults, exploratory factor analyses and regression analyses were performed to determine the construct validity and strength of associations between the two concepts. Results of the EFA suggested a new three-factor model (3F-DSI-R) for the DSI-R while supporting the original two-factor model of the MHI-18. Regression analyses indicated that self-differentiation and its dimensions are significant predictors of mental health. Findings suggest that highly differentiated individuals tend to display better overall mental health. Lastly, implications for theory, practice, and directions for future research are discussed.

Sex differences and similarities among spouses on differentiation of self were evaluated for 108 heterosexual couples who completed the Differentiation of Self Inventory 2 of Skowron. Four scores on self-differentiation were assessed, emotional reactivity, emotion cutoff, “I” position, and fusion with others. Significant sex differences were found on all subscales. Women tended to express their state of emotionality by engaging with their partners via emotional reactivity, whereas men tended to express their state of emotionality by disengaging from their partners. Women scored lower on adherence to their convictions or beliefs than their spouses. Moreover, the results were not supportive of similarities of self-differentiation among spouses as posited by Bowen.
