The co-occurrence of psychopathy and substance use disorders (SUDs) is associated with higher relapse rates and increased risk of violent offending. Studies on the validity of psychopathy measures in community samples and substance-dependent individuals (SDIs) are scarce. The aim of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) in a sample of Bulgarian SDIs and non-dependent controls. We tested 615 participants: 106 heroin users, 91 amphetamine users, 123 polysubstance users, and 295 controls. Confirmatory factor analyses replicated the tri-factor structure of the LSRP (egocentric, antisocial, callous). The scale demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity. SDIs scored significantly higher than controls on the total scale and subscales of the LSRP, indicating good discriminant validity. Overall, results indicate that the LSRP is a valid instrument for measuring psychopathy in Bulgarian community samples.
精神病态与物质使用障碍(SUDs)的共现与更高的复发率以及暴力犯罪风险增加相关。关于精神病态测量方法在社区样本和物质依赖个体(SDIs)中的有效性研究较少。本研究的目的是检验莱文森自我报告精神病态量表(LSRP)在保加利亚物质依赖个体和非依赖对照组样本中的心理测量特性。我们测试了615名参与者:106名海洛因使用者、91名苯丙胺使用者、123名多物质使用者和295名对照组。验证性因素分析重现了LSRP的三因素结构(自我中心、反社会、冷酷)。该量表显示出可接受的信度和效度。物质依赖个体在LSRP总量表和分量表上的得分显著高于对照组,表明具有良好的区分效度。总体而言,结果表明LSRP是测量保加利亚社区样本中精神病态的有效工具。
