A large sample (N = 425) of young adult males from the Pittsburg Youth Study (PYS; Loeber, Farrington, Stouthamer-Loeber, & Van Kammen, 1998) was used to test the item-level structure of the short-form version of the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (SRP; Paulhus, Neumann, & Hare, in press) and the standard version of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI; Andershed, Kerr, Stattin, & Levander, 2002). Also, structural equation modeling analyses examined how the SRP and YPI factors were linked to external correlates involving criminal offenses and internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. The modeling results indicated acceptable fit for the latent structure of both instruments and the SRP and YPI factor correlations were strong, particularly for conceptually-related scales. Finally, both instruments showed similar patterns in predicting externalizing and internalizing psychopathology, as well as criminal offenses. Taken together, the results provide evidence of convergent and construct validity across the two instruments. New insights into the link between psychopathy and the external correlates in young adult males are discussed.
来自匹兹堡青少年研究（PYS；勒伯、法林顿、斯托塔默-勒伯和范卡门，1998年）的425名成年男性青年的大样本被用于检验自陈式精神病态量表简版（SRP；保罗胡斯、诺伊曼和黑尔，即将发表）以及青少年精神病态特质问卷标准版（YPI；安德谢德、克尔、斯塔廷和莱万德，2002年）的项目层面结构。此外，结构方程模型分析考察了SRP和YPI因素如何与涉及刑事犯罪以及内化和外化精神病理学的外部相关因素相联系。模型结果表明这两种工具的潜在结构拟合度可接受，并且SRP和YPI因素之间的相关性很强，尤其是在概念相关的量表方面。最后，这两种工具在预测外化和内化精神病理学以及刑事犯罪方面呈现出相似的模式。综合来看，这些结果为这两种工具的收敛效度和结构效度提供了证据。文中还讨论了对成年男性青年中精神病态与外部相关因素之间联系的新见解。
