To test the four-factor model of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R) empirical construct of psychopathy in a Chilean prison population by using instruments that supply different types of data.
Two hundred and nine male inmates of the Prison of Los Andes, Chile, were evaluated. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out with the PCL-R and the Self-Report of Psychopathy - III - Short Form (SRP-III-SF).
The distributions of total PCL-R and SRP-III-SF scores were normal (Kolmorogov-Smirnov [K-S] = 1.04, p = 0.230; K-S = 0.812, p = 0.525, respectively), with means of 20.9 ± 6.8 for the former and 61.6 ± 15.2 for the latter. Model fit was good for the PCL-R (Tucker Lewis index [TLI] = 0.96; root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.04) and for the SRP-SF (TLI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.04).
The results obtained with the PCL-R and the SRP-SF showed adequate fit to the empirical four-factor model of psychopathy and support this model. As foreseeable, fit was better for the PCL-R, which combines several sources of information.
通过使用提供不同类型数据的工具,在智利监狱人群中检验《哈雷精神病态量表修订版》(PCL-R)中精神病态实证结构的四因素模型。
对智利洛斯安第斯监狱的209名男性囚犯进行了评估。使用PCL-R和《精神病态自我报告量表第三版简表》(SRP-III-SF)进行了验证性因素分析。
PCL-R总分和SRP-III-SF总分的分布呈正态分布(分别为Kolmorogov-Smirnov检验 [K-S] = 1.04,p = 0.230;K-S = 0.812,p = 0.525),前者均值为20.9 ± 6.8,后者均值为61.6 ± 15.2。PCL-R(塔克-刘易斯指数 [TLI] = 0.96;近似均方根误差 [RMSEA] = 0.04)和SRP-SF(TLI = 0.94,RMSEA = 0.04)的模型拟合良好。
PCL-R和SRP-SF获得的结果显示与精神病态实证四因素模型拟合良好,并支持该模型。正如可预见的那样,结合多种信息来源的PCL-R拟合度更好。
