Summary

New psychopathy measures show good validity, but caution is advised regarding reverse-coded items in the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) assessment of psychopathy.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychopathology
  • Personality Assessment

Background:

  • Recent models of psychopathy incorporate traits like fearlessness and boldness.
  • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) includes a psychopathy specifier based on these traits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically test the convergent and discriminant validity of four psychopathy measures.
  • To examine the relationship of these measures with each other, traditional psychopathy/antisocial personality disorder measures, and the 5-factor model.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two community adult samples (N=476) with self-reported criminal activities.
  • Assessed convergent and discriminant validity using the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R), Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM), Elemental Psychopathy Assessment (EPA), and PID-5 psychopathy specifier.

Main Results:

  • The PPI-R, TriPM, EPA, and PID-5 psychopathy specifiers demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity.
  • These measures showed distinct relationships with the 5-factor model compared to traditional measures of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy.

Conclusions:

  • The study supports the validity of newer psychopathy measures, including the PID-5 specifier.
  • Concerns exist regarding the use of reverse-coded items in assessing psychopathy components within the PID-5.
