Abstract

Background: Since its inclusion in DSM-5, dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) is an officially acknowledged diagnosis. Objective: This study presents a psychometric evaluation of two questionnaires: The modified German translation of the Skin Picking Scale (mSPS-D) and the German translation of the Skin Picking Impact Scale (SPIS-D). Method: Based on an online survey with self-reported skin-pickers, both questionnaires were examined by means of psychometric and factor analysis. Results: The mSPS-D had good to very good reliability on three subscales and on the total scale (alpha = .76-.81). For the SPIS-D the original short-version factor structure was replicated (alpha = .81). Thus, both instruments can be considered to be reliable, valid, and economic questionnaires assessing pathological skin picking. Conclusion: These instruments offer a good basis for future investigations of pathological skin picking.
