This study examined the interrelations between two measures of personality, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R; P. T. Costa & R. R. McCrae, 1992) and the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ; Tellegen & Waller, 2008), and their relations with psychopathy in a sample of undergraduates. Results revealed good convergence between conceptually related personality traits; however, the NEO PI-R facets accounted for more variance in the MPQ subscales (mean R(2)=.49) than did MPQ subscales in NEO PI-R facets (mean R(2)=.35). Both accounted for substantial proportions of variance in psychopathy scores, although the NEO PI-R accounted for larger proportions and manifested greater incremental validity when using the broader domains of each measure; the differences decreased when the narrower facets/subscales were used. The results suggest that, although both measures assess psychopathy-related traits, the NEO PI-R provides a more complete description because of its assessment of interpersonal antagonism and the central role of this construct in psychopathy.
本研究考察了两种人格测量工具，即修订版大五人格量表（NEO PI-R；P.T. 科斯塔和R.R. 麦克雷，1992年）与多维人格问卷（MPQ；泰勒根和沃勒，2008年）之间的相互关系，以及它们与一组本科生样本中精神病态的关系。结果显示，在概念上相关的人格特质之间具有良好的收敛性；然而，NEO PI-R的各个维度在MPQ分量表中解释的变异量（平均R² =.49）比MPQ分量表在NEO PI-R维度中解释的变异量（平均R² =.35）更多。两者在精神病态得分中都解释了相当大比例的变异，尽管在使用每种测量工具的更广泛领域时，NEO PI-R解释的比例更大且表现出更大的增量效度；当使用更窄的维度/分量表时，差异减小。结果表明，尽管这两种测量工具都评估了与精神病态相关的特质，但由于NEO PI-R对人际对抗的评估以及该构念在精神病态中的核心作用，它提供了更完整的描述。
