This study examined the MMPI-2-RF (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011) Triarchic Psychopathy scales recently developed by Sellbom et al. ( 2016 ) in 3 separate groups of male correctional inmates and 2 college samples. Participants were administered a diverse battery of psychopathy specific measures (e.g., Psychopathy Checklist-Revised [Hare, 2003 ], Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised [Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005 ], Triarchic Psychopathy Measure [Patrick, 2010 ]), omnibus personality and psychopathology measures such as the Personality Assessment Inventory (Morey, 2007 ) and Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson, & Skodol, 2012 ), and narrow-band measures that capture conceptually relevant constructs. Our results generally evidenced strong support for the convergent and discriminant validity for the MMPI-2-RF Triarchic scales. Boldness was largely associated with measures of fearless dominance, social potency, and stress immunity. Meanness showed strong relationships with measures of callousness, aggression, externalizing tendencies, and poor interpersonal functioning. Disinhibition exhibited strong associations with poor impulse control, stimulus seeking, and general externalizing proclivities. Our results provide additional construct validation to both the triarchic model and MMPI-2-RF Triarchic scales. Given the widespread use of the MMPI-2-RF in correctional and forensic settings, our results have important implications for clinical assessment in these 2 areas, where psychopathy is a highly relevant construct.
本研究考查了Sellbom等人（2016年）最近编制的明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版修订版（MMPI-2-RF；Ben-Porath & Tellegen，2008/2011）三因素精神病态量表，该研究涉及3组男性惩教人员和2个大学样本。研究人员让参与者接受了一系列不同的精神病态特定测量（例如，《修订版精神病态量表》[Hare，2003年]、《修订版精神病态人格问卷》[Lilienfeld & Widows，2005年]、《三因素精神病态量表》[Patrick，2010年]）、综合性人格和精神病理学测量，如《人格评估量表》（Morey，2007年）和《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版人格量表（Krueger、Derringer、Markon、Watson和Skodol，2012年），以及一些能体现概念上相关结构的窄带测量。我们的研究结果总体上有力支持了MMPI-2-RF三因素量表的聚合效度和区分效度。无畏性在很大程度上与无畏支配、社交效能和应激免疫力的测量相关。冷酷无情与冷漠、攻击性、外化倾向和不良人际功能的测量显示出强相关性。行为失范与冲动控制差、刺激寻求和一般外化倾向表现出强关联。我们的研究结果为三因素模型和MMPI-2-RF三因素量表提供了额外的结构效度验证。鉴于MMPI-2-RF在惩教和法医环境中的广泛应用，我们的研究结果对这两个领域的临床评估具有重要意义，在这两个领域中，精神病态是一个高度相关的概念。
