The emergent interpersonal syndrome (EIS) approach conceptualizes personality disorders as the interaction among their constituent traits to predict important criterion variables. We detail the difficulties we have experienced finding such interactive predictors in our empirical work on psychopathy, even when using uncorrelated traits that maximize power. Rather than explaining a large absolute proportion of variance in interpersonal outcomes, EIS interactions might explain small amounts of variance relative to the main effects of each trait. Indeed, these interactions may necessitate samples of almost 1,000 observations for 80% power and a false positive rate of .05. EIS models must describe which specific traits’ interactions constitute a particular EIS, as effect sizes appear to diminish as higher-order trait interactions are analyzed. Considering whether EIS interactions are ordinal with non-crossing slopes, disordinal with crossing slopes, or entail non-linear threshold or saturation effects may help researchers design studies, sampling strategies, and analyses to model their expected effects efficiently.

This paper tackles the issue of global stabilization for a class of delayed switched inertial neural networks (SINN). Distinct from the frequently employed reduced-order technique, this paper studies SINN directly through non-reduced order method. By constructing a novel Lyapunov functional and using Barbalat Lemma, sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stabilization issue and global exponential stabilization issue of the considered SINN are established. Numerical simulations further confirm the feasibility of the main results. The comparative research shows that global stabilization results of this paper complement and improve some existing work.
