Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychopathology
  • Forensic Psychology

Background:

  • Psychopathy is understood to have distinct affective-interpersonal and social deviance components.
  • The externalizing dimension in adult psychopathology encompasses conduct disorder, antisocial behavior, and substance abuse.
  • Understanding the relationship between psychopathy facets and externalizing behaviors is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the associations between the affective-interpersonal and social deviance facets of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R).
  • To examine the relationship of these PCL-R facets with the externalizing dimension of adult psychopathology.
  • To clarify whether PCL-R facets uniquely contribute to externalizing beyond their shared variance.

Main Methods:

  • Correlational analyses were performed on data from the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R).
  • Structural equation modeling was used to assess unique variance.
  • The externalizing dimension was defined by symptoms of conduct disorder, antisocial behavior, and substance abuse.

Main Results:

  • A strong correlation (r = .84) was found between the externalizing dimension and the social deviance facet of the PCL-R.
  • A weaker correlation (r = .44) was observed between externalizing and the affective-interpersonal facet of the PCL-R.
  • Structural models indicated that externalizing significantly predicted unique variance in social deviance but not in the affective-interpersonal component.

Conclusions:

  • The social deviance facet of the PCL-R largely reflects the externalizing dimension of psychopathology.
  • The affective-interpersonal facet of the PCL-R appears to represent a construct distinct from externalizing.
  • Findings support the prediction of novel links between PCL-R social deviance and externalizing correlates like nicotine use and gambling.
