This study evaluated the structural reliability, construct-related validity, and cultural validity generalization of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version (PCL:SV) in a sample of more than 560 male and female Swedish forensic psychiatric treatment patients, forensic evaluation patients, and criminal offenders. Structural reliability was excellent for most indices. PCL:SV scores were higher for males than females for total and Part 1 scores (interpersonal/affective features) but not for Part 2 (behavioral features). With some exceptions, PCL:SV scores were meaningfully related to aggression to others, a measure of risk for violence, substance use problems, personality disorder (positive), and psychosis (negative). Correlations between PCL:SV and aggression were larger for females than males, although the difference was smaller when personality disorder was held constant. The structural reliability and pattern of validity coefficients were comparable in these Swedish samples to other non-North American samples. Implications for the cross-cultural manifestation and correlates of psychopathy are discussed.
本研究在560多名瑞典男性和女性法医精神病治疗患者、法医评估患者及刑事罪犯样本中，评估了《哈雷精神病态检查表：筛查版》（PCL:SV）的结构可靠性、结构相关效度及文化效度的普遍性。大多数指标的结构可靠性极佳。PCL:SV总分及第一部分（人际/情感特征）得分男性高于女性，但第二部分（行为特征）得分并非如此。除了一些例外情况，PCL:SV得分与对他人的攻击行为、暴力风险度量、物质使用问题、人格障碍（阳性）及精神病（阴性）存在显著关联。PCL:SV与攻击行为之间的相关性女性大于男性，不过在控制人格障碍因素后，差异变小。这些瑞典样本的结构可靠性及效度系数模式与其他非北美样本相当。文中还讨论了精神病态的跨文化表现及相关因素。
