Four studies outline the ACL (Affective, Cognitive and Lifestyle) assessment, a new means of assessing psychopathy capturing implicit and explicit functioning. Studies 1 and 2 comprised students (Study 1, n=42, 14 men, 28 women; Study 2, n=50 men), Study 3 comprised 80 young prisoners (men) and Study 4, 40 forensic psychiatric patients (men). It was predicted that the ACL affective, cognitive and interpersonal components would positively correlate with the interpersonal factor of another measure of psychopathy (PCL-SV), whereas the ACL Lifestyle component would correlate with the criminal history/lifestyle component of the PCL-SV. Evidence for internal reliability for the ACL was noted. The ACL correlated as expected with the PCL-SV although variation across samples was noted. Implicit affect and specific aspects of cognition positively correlated with increased psychopathy on the PCL-SV. Implicit affect correlated differently across samples. Findings are discussed regarding implications. Directions for future research are indicated.
四项研究概述了ACL（情感、认知和生活方式）评估，这是一种评估心理变态的新方法，可捕捉内隐和外显功能。研究1和研究2的参与者为学生（研究1，n = 42，14名男性，28名女性；研究2，n = 50名男性），研究3的参与者为80名年轻男性囚犯，研究4的参与者为40名男性法医精神病患者。研究预测，ACL的情感、认知和人际成分将与心理变态另一测量方法（PCL - SV）的人际因素呈正相关，而ACL的生活方式成分将与PCL - SV的犯罪史/生活方式成分相关。研究记录了ACL的内部信度证据。尽管各样本存在差异，但ACL与PCL - SV的相关性符合预期。内隐情感和认知的特定方面与PCL - SV上心理变态程度的增加呈正相关。不同样本中内隐情感的相关性有所不同。文中讨论了这些发现的意义，并指出了未来研究的方向。
