The main aim of the present study was to examine some psychometric properties of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) among Portuguese juvenile delinquents. With forensic sample of 192 incarcerated male participants, the Portuguese version of the PCL:YV demonstrated promising psychometric properties of the three-factor model of youth psychopathy, internal consistency, convergent validity, concurrent validity, and retrospective validity that generally justify its use among Portuguese youths. Statistically significant associations were found with age of criminal onset, frequency of crimes, number of victims, and use of physical violence.
本研究的主要目的是检验《精神病态核查表:青少年版》(PCL:YV)在葡萄牙青少年罪犯中的一些心理测量特性。通过对192名被监禁男性参与者的法医样本进行研究,PCL:YV的葡萄牙语版本在青少年精神病态的三因素模型、内部一致性、收敛效度、同时效度和回顾效度方面表现出了良好的心理测量特性,这些特性总体上证明了其在葡萄牙青少年中的应用价值。研究发现,该量表与犯罪起始年龄、犯罪频率、受害者数量以及身体暴力的使用之间存在统计学上的显著关联。
