Nine original articles comprise this special issue of the Journal of Personality addressing personality-based perspectives of psychopathy. In this introduction to the special issue, we review five advances and areas of agreement that are highlighted across the articles, including the utility of trait perspectives to psychopathy, the emergence of a prototypical trait profile of psychopathy, the importance of recognizing earlier developmental manifestations of psychopathy, the ongoing study and revelation of the basic neural underpinnings of psychopathy, and the important theoretical and empirical association between psychopathy and antisocial behavior. At the same time, several important debates remain, which are also highlighted in the special issue's articles. These debates center around the necessity and sufficiency of certain psychopathy traits, the role of traits alternatively labeled stable Extraversion, fearless dominance, or boldness, and the validity and utility of separating psychopathy from Machiavellianism as is done in research on the Dark Triad.
本期《人格杂志》的这一特刊包含九篇原创文章，探讨了基于人格视角的精神病态。在本特刊引言中，我们回顾了这些文章中突出的五个进展和共识领域，包括特质视角对精神病态的实用性、精神病态典型特质概况的出现、认识到精神病态早期发展表现的重要性、对精神病态基本神经基础的持续研究和揭示，以及精神病态与反社会行为之间重要的理论和实证关联。与此同时，仍存在一些重要的争论，这些争论在特刊文章中也有所突出。这些争论围绕某些精神病态特质的必要性和充分性、可交替标记为稳定外向性、无畏支配或大胆的特质的作用，以及在黑暗三人格研究中像将精神病态与马基雅维利主义区分开来的有效性和实用性。
