This paper reports on three psychopathy indices derived from scores on the MMPI-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008). In Study 1, we describe the development of such indices referenced to the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI; Lilienfeld & Andrews, 1996) and its two distinguishable facets, Fearless-Dominance and Impulsive-Antisociality. We estimated psychopathy scores by regressing PPI scores onto conceptually selected MMPI-2-RF scales in a combined sample of 825 college students and correctional inmates. In Study 2, we explored the construct validity of these psychopathy measures in college student and correctional samples. The measures demonstrated conceptually expected patterns of associations with other established psychopathy inventories, and with psychopathy-related traits including narcissism, sensation seeking, antisociality, and impulsivity as well as broad personality and temperament factors. In Study 3, we used data from a large sample of outpatient mental health clients to establish the validity of the MMPI-2-RF psychopathy measures in relation to legal and mental health variables and therapist ratings of antisociality, narcissism, aggression, and internalizing problems. Theoretical implications of findings from these three studies for the psychopathy construct (including for DSM-5) are discussed.
本文报告了三个源于 MMPI-2 重构形式（MMPI-2-RF；Ben-Porath & Tellegen，2008）分数的精神病态指数。在研究 1 中，我们参考精神病态人格量表（PPI；Lilienfeld & Andrews，1996）及其两个可区分的方面，无畏-支配和冲动-反社会，描述了此类指数的发展。我们通过将 PPI 分数回归到概念上选择的 MMPI-2-RF 量表，在一个由 825 名大学生和管教囚犯组成的综合样本中估计了精神病态分数。在研究 2 中，我们在大学生和管教样本中探讨了这些精神病态测量的构念效度。这些措施与其他已建立的精神病态量表以及与自恋、寻求刺激、反社会和冲动等与精神病态相关的特征以及广泛的人格和气质因素表现出了概念上预期的关联模式。在研究 3 中，我们使用了来自大量门诊心理健康客户的数据，根据法律和心理健康变量以及治疗师对反社会、自恋、攻击性和内化问题的评定，建立了 MMPI-2-RF 精神病态测量与反社会、自恋、攻击性和内化问题之间的有效性。这三个研究的结果对精神病态结构的理论意义（包括 DSM-5）进行了讨论。
