The triarchic model is an increasingly influential multidimensional model of psychopathy that focuses on three distinct phenotypic domains of boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. Although originally operationalized through the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM), the triarchic model has also been operationalized through items of existing psychopathy and personality measures that provide sufficient content coverage of the triarchic dimensions. The current study aimed to provide a means for enhancing understanding of psychopathic features in adolescents through the development and validation of triarchic scales using items from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent-Restructured Form (MMPI-A-RF). The MMPI-A-RF normative sample and a large sample of juveniles undergoing court-ordered evaluations were used for formal scale development and the juvenile-court sample was also used for validation analyses. The MMPI-A-RF triarchic scales demonstrated adequate internal consistency in both the normative and juvenile offender samples, and were largely related to criterion variables, including measures of personality, psychopathology, interpersonal functioning, and adolescent concerns as predicted based on the triarchic model. Canonical correlation analyses revealed unexpected and novel findings of (variable-centered) patterns of associations between our predictor triarchic scales and criterion variables that resemble "primary" and "secondary" psychopathy variants or subtypes. Overall, findings suggest that the triarchic model as indexed by the MMPI-A-RF scales can be useful for understanding how psychopathy may manifest in youth and for identifying youth at risk for severe and persistent antisocial behavior.

三因素模型是一种越来越有影响力的多维精神变态模型，侧重于大胆、卑鄙和去抑制三个不同的表型领域。虽然最初是通过三因素精神变态量表（TriPM）来操作的，但三因素模型也通过现有的精神变态和人格量表的项目来操作，这些项目提供了三因素维度的足够内容覆盖。本研究旨在通过使用明尼苏达多相人格问卷-青少年重构形式（MMPI-A-RF）的项目来开发和验证三因素量表，为理解青少年的精神变态特征提供一种方法。MMPI-A-RF 常模样本和一个接受法庭命令评估的大量青少年样本被用于正式量表开发，青少年法庭样本也用于验证分析。MMPI-A-RF 三因素量表在常模样本和青少年罪犯样本中均表现出足够的内部一致性，并且与人格、精神病理学、人际功能和青少年关注等标准变量高度相关，这与三因素模型的预测相符。典型相关分析揭示了意想不到的新发现，即我们的预测三因素量表与标准变量之间存在（变量中心）关联模式，类似于“主要”和“次要”精神变态变体或亚型。总体而言，研究结果表明，MMPI-A-RF 量表所代表的三因素模型可用于理解精神变态如何在年轻人中表现出来，并识别有严重和持续反社会行为风险的年轻人。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
