Rentfrow et al. (2013) constructs a cross-section of the "Big Five" personality traits and demonstrates their relationship with outcomes variables for the continental United States and the District of Columbia. Hyatt et al. (Forthcoming) creates a means of describing psychopathy in terms of the Big Five personality traits. When these two findings are combined, a state-level estimate of psychopathy is produced. The estimate is conjectural, and if correct, it only describes the levels of psychopathy of states in relation of one state to one another, and is contingent on one particular conceptualization of psychopathy. Among the typical predictions made regarding psychopathy, the variable with the closest bivariate relationship with this new statistical aggregate is the percentage of the population in the state living in an urban area. There is no clear bivariate relationship of regional psychopathy with homicide, violent crime, or property crime rates.
伦特罗等人（2013年）构建了“大五”人格特质的横截面，并展示了它们与美国大陆和哥伦比亚特区的结果变量之间的关系。海亚特等人（即将发表）创造了一种根据“大五”人格特质来描述精神病态的方法。当这两个发现结合起来时，就产生了州一级的精神病态估计值。这个估计值是推测性的，而且如果正确的话，它只描述了各州之间相对的精神病态水平，并且取决于对精神病态的一种特定概念化。在关于精神病态的典型预测中，与这个新的统计总量具有最密切双变量关系的变量是该州城市地区居住人口的百分比。区域精神病态与杀人率、暴力犯罪率或财产犯罪率之间没有明确的双变量关系。
