The current study examined the reliability and validity of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version (YPI-S) in two different samples of at-risk adolescents enrolled in a residential program ( n = 160) and at a detention facility ( n = 60) in the United States. YPI-S scores displayed adequate internal consistency and were moderately associated with concurrent scales on other self-report psychopathy measures and externalizing behaviors. YPI-S scores were moderately related to interviewer-ratings of the construct using the four-factor model of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version. Findings suggest that the YPI-S may be a clinically useful and valid tool for the assessment of psychopathic traits in juvenile settings. This may be particularly true given the differential predictive utility of each of its dimensions.
本研究在美国的一个住宿项目（n=160）和一个拘留所（n=60）中，对处于风险中的青少年的两个不同样本进行了 Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version（YPI-S）的信度和效度检验。YPI-S 得分显示出足够的内部一致性，与其他自我报告的精神病理学测量和外化行为的同期量表中度相关。YPI-S 得分与使用《青少年精神病理检查表：四因素模型》（Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version）对该结构进行的访谈者评定中度相关。研究结果表明，YPI-S 可能是一种在青少年环境中评估精神病理特征的临床有用且有效的工具。鉴于其各个维度的不同预测效用，这一点尤其正确。
