    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Criminology
    • Forensic Psychology

    Background:

    • Sociopathic personality traits are a significant concern in criminal offender populations.
    • Existing assessment tools may not adequately capture the nuances of these traits in this demographic.
    • There is a need for reliable and valid instruments for research with criminal offenders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of a new psychometric scale tailored for research with criminal offenders.
    • To identify and measure key sociopathic personality traits relevant to this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive item pool was created to delineate sociopathic personality traits.
    • Factor analysis was employed to analyze the item pool data.
    • The analysis resulted in the selection of items forming a multi-factor scale.

    Main Results:

    • Five distinct factors emerged from the factor analysis.
    • An 80-item scale, the Criminal Offender Introspective Report (COIR), was constructed based on these factors.
    • The COIR is designed to assess sociopathic traits in criminal offenders.

    Conclusions:

    • The Criminal Offender Introspective Report (COIR) provides a new, empirically-derived instrument for research.
    • The scale's factor structure offers a nuanced approach to understanding sociopathic personality in offenders.
    • The COIR is suitable for further research investigating the relationship between these traits and criminal behavior.
