The Triarchic model of psychopathy describes this complex condition in terms of distinct phenotypic components of boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. Brief self-report scales designed specifically to index these psychopathy facets have thus far demonstrated promising construct validity. The present study sought to develop and validate scales for assessing facets of the Triarchic model using items from a well-validated existing measure of psychopathy-the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI). A consensus-rating approach was used to identify PPI items relevant to each Triarchic facet, and the convergent and discriminant validity of the resulting PPI-based Triarchic scales were evaluated in relation to multiple criterion variables (i.e., other psychopathy inventories, antisocial personality disorder features, personality traits, psychosocial functioning) in offender and nonoffender samples. The PPI-based Triarchic scales showed good internal consistency and related to criterion variables in ways consistent with predictions based on the Triarchic model. Findings are discussed in terms of implications for conceptualization and assessment of psychopathy.
精神病态的三元模型从大胆、冷酷和冲动抑制不足等不同的表型成分来描述这种复杂的状况。专门设计用于对这些精神病态方面进行索引的简短自我报告量表，到目前为止已显示出有前景的结构效度。本研究试图利用来自一个经过充分验证的现有精神病态测量工具——精神病态人格问卷（PPI）中的项目，来开发和验证用于评估三元模型各方面的量表。采用共识评分法来确定与每个三元方面相关的PPI项目，并在罪犯和非罪犯样本中，针对多个标准变量（即其他精神病态量表、反社会人格障碍特征、人格特质、心理社会功能）评估由此产生的基于PPI的三元量表的收敛效度和区分效度。基于PPI的三元量表显示出良好的内部一致性，并且与标准变量的关联方式与基于三元模型的预测一致。研究结果将从对精神病态概念化和评估的意义方面进行讨论。
