Psychopathy is characterized by diverse indicators. Clinical accounts have emphasized 3 distinct facets: interpersonal, affective, and behavioral. Research using the Checklist--Revised (PCL-R), however, has a 2-factor model. A review of literature on PCL-R related measures psychopathy, together with confirmatory factor analysis data from North American participants, indicates that model cannot be sustained. 3-factor hierarchical was developed in which coherent superordinate factor,...
The development of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; R. D. Hare, 2003) has fueled intense clinical interest in construct psychopathy. Unfortunately, a side effect this been conceptual confusion and, particular, conflating measures with constructs. Indeed, field is danger equating PCL-R theoretical A key point debate whether criminal behavior central component, or mere downstream correlate, In article, authors present directions for resolving debate. First, factor analysis items...
Actuarial risk assessment instruments (ARAIs) estimate the probability that individuals will engage in future violence.To evaluate ;margins of error' at group and individual level for estimates made using ARAIs.An established statistical method was used to construct 95% CI two popular ARAIs.The were large level; level, they so high as render virtually meaningless.The ARAIs cannot be an individual's violence with any reasonable degree certainty should great caution or not all. In theory,...
Cancers originating in the esophagus or esophagogastric junction constitute a major global health problem. Esophageal cancers are histologically classified as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) adenocarcinoma, which differ their etiology, pathology, tumor location, therapeutics, and prognosis. In contrast to esophageal usually affects lower esophagus, SCC is more likely localize at higher than tracheal bifurcation. Systemic therapy can provide palliation, improved survival, enhanced quality of...
The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is an important measure in both applied and research settings. Evidence for its validity mostly derived from male Caucasian participants. PCL-R ratings of 359 356 African American participants were compared using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) item response theory (lRn analyses. Previous has indicated that 13 items the can be described by a 3-factor hierarchical modeL This model was replicated this sample. No cross-group difference structure...
A survey of clinical views suggests that the significance antisocial and socially deviant behavior in diagnosis psychopathic personality disorder is unclear. To investigate this issue, we evaluated Psychopathy Checklist-Revised ratings (PCL-R; Hare, 1991) using structural equation modeling. One model, referred to as measurement included PCL-R related primary symptoms psychopathy; a second, causal same secondary or consequences. Compared models, model more items, was parsimonious, had equal...
The Screening Version of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL:SV; S. D. Hart, N. Cox, & R. Hare, 1995) was developed to complement (PCL-R; 1991), and for use outside forensic settings. PCL:SV takes less time administer requires collateral information than PCL-R. An item response theory approach adopted determine similarities in structural properties 2 instruments whether could be regarded as a short form Eight 12 items were strongly parallel their equivalent PCL-R items. Of 4 which...

Differences in the prevalence and presentation of psychopathic personality disorder between North America Scotland were evaluated. R. D. Hare's (1991) Psychopathy Checklist--Revised ratings obtained from a sample 2,067 American male prisoners forensic patients compared with 246 Scottish prisoners. Item response theory methods used to examine differences performance items equate scale across settings. The had equal relevance description both settings; however, have higher levels underlying...
Abstract Despite the growing number of studies on psychopathy in females, core characteristics this personality disorder among females remain uninvestigated. Most have attempted to understand by applying male criteria adult females: they ignored putative gender differences constitution and expression disorder. Several issues require resolution: first, whether practitioners apply same diagnose women, second, instruments used assess are tapping construct across gender, third, types behavioral...
Psychopathic personality disorder (PPD) has important clinical and forensic implications. But much more effort been devoted to assessing or diagnosing PPD than explicating defining it. In the first part of this paper, we describe development a conceptual model “concept map” PPD. Based on systematic review descriptions in research literature, as well consultation with subject matter experts, identified key features translated them into 33 symptoms, presented natural language (i.e.,...
Psychopathy is the key construct in Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD) Programme. The Checklist - Revised used as a primary means of selection for programme. confounds two distinct constructs personality disorder criminal behaviour. This confound important both practically theoretically.

Summary Psychological and somatic symptoms presented by women in middle life are frequently attributed to the menopause. Many writers have questioned this assumption placed more emphasis on environmental personality factors. Using a event model multivariate analysis technique, stress was shown significantly powerful influence elevation of normal population at that age than did Furthermore, occurred some considerable time before event. The finding there no significant increase total suggests...
Knowledge of group tendencies may not assist accurate predictions in the individual case. This has importance for forensic decision making and assessment tools routinely applied evaluations. In this article, we Monte Carlo methods to examine diagnostic agreement with different levels inter-rater given distributional characteristics PCL-R scores. Diagnostic score were substantially less than expected. addition, examined confidence intervals associated violent recidivism. On basis empirical...
Psychopathy in women has been subject to little systematic investigation; no coherent conceptualization of the disorder exists. Previous research is constrained by reliance both on a male psychopathy and assessment instruments developed, primarily validated, with men. This study utilized newly broad, personality‐based, gender‐sensitive lexical model psychopathy, Comprehensive Assessment Psychopathic Personality (CAPP). Prototypical analysis was used explore gender differences construct...
We investigated the precision of individual risk estimates made using actuarial assessment instruments (ARAIs) by discussing some major conceptual issues and then illustrating them analyzing new data. used a standard multivariate statistical procedure, logistic regression, to create ARAI based on data from follow-up study 90 adult male sex offenders. indexed predictive at group level confidence intervals for mean probability estimates, prediction estimates. Consistent with past research,...
We compared the childhood experiences of criminal psychopaths with those nonpsychopaths, to examine whether differences in either type or intensity adverse experience could be identified. One hundred and five prisoners, 50 psychopaths, 55 nonpsychopaths were assessed Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) Childhood Experience Care Abuse (CECA) semistructured interviews. Both assessment measures have been demonstrated reliable valid instruments. File information from both adult child services...
The diagnosis of psychopathy is important for violence risk assessment.To investigate whether the syndromal structure psychopathy, as measured by Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), same in UK and North America, this measure yields scores that are equivalent these two regions.Confirmatory factor analytic item response theory methods were applied to large samples PCL-R ratings.The was invariant across cultures, three distinct factors underpinning superordinate syndrome psychopathy....
