The present study investigated the relationship between the Five-Factor Model (FFM) and the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI; Andershed, Ker, Stattin, & Levander, 2002) in an undergraduate sample. It was hypothesized that Agreeableness would saturate the lower- and higher-order scales of the YPI, and that taking Agreeableness into account would reduce the intercorrelations among the three factors of the YPI. These hypotheses were explored in a sample of 466 undergraduates who completed the YPI and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992). Results demonstrated that Agreeableness was the strongest, most consistent correlate of the lower-order scales and three higher-order factors of the YPI. Additionally, analyses showed that Agreeableness accounted for large portions of the three YPI factors, as well as the overlap among factors, helping explain their intercorrelations. Current results underscore the centrality of Agreeableness to the assessment and understanding of psychopathy, particularly as measured by the YPI.
本研究在本科生样本中调查了五因素模型（FFM）与青少年精神变态特征量表（YPI；Andershed、Ker、Stattin 和 Levander，2002）之间的关系。研究假设，宜人性将饱和 YPI 的低阶和高阶量表，并且考虑到宜人性将降低 YPI 的三个因素之间的相互关联。这些假设在一个由 466 名本科生组成的样本中进行了探讨，他们完成了 YPI 和修订版 NEO 人格量表（NEO-PI-R；Costa 和 McCrae，1992）。结果表明，宜人性是 YPI 的低阶量表和三个高阶因素的最强、最一致的相关因素。此外，分析表明，宜人性解释了 YPI 三个因素以及因素之间重叠的大部分，有助于解释它们的相互关系。当前的结果强调了宜人性在评估和理解精神变态方面的核心地位，尤其是在 YPI 测量方面。
