The present study examined whether psychopathy can be understood as a constellation of traits from the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality. Using a prototype matching approach, we examined the ability of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992) to represent psychopathy in a sample of 297 male and female known crack cocaine abusers. Importantly, we examined the convergence and divergence between FFM psychopathy and other personality disorders assessed using the FFM. FFM psychopathy was correlated with self-reports of antisocial behavior, drug use, risky sex, and externalizing and internalizing disorder symptoms. As expected, there was overlap in the relations between psychopathy and several Cluster B personality disorders, but there were also important points of divergence. These results further extend the nomological network of FFM psychopathy and provide additional support for considering psychopathy a constellation of personality traits from a general model.
本研究考察了精神病态是否可被理解为来自人格五因素模型（FFM）的一系列特质。我们采用原型匹配方法，在297名已知的可卡因成瘾男性和女性样本中，考察了修订后的大五人格量表（NEO PI-R；科斯塔和麦克雷，1992）呈现精神病态的能力。重要的是，我们考察了FFM精神病态与使用FFM评估的其他人格障碍之间的趋同和差异。FFM精神病态与反社会行为、药物使用、危险性行为以及外化和内化障碍症状的自我报告相关。正如预期的那样，精神病态与几种B类人格障碍之间的关系存在重叠，但也有重要的差异点。这些结果进一步扩展了FFM精神病态的法则网络，并为将精神病态视为来自一般模型的一系列人格特质提供了额外支持。
