The construct validity of the triarchic psychopathy model has yet to be evaluated in the Swedish forensic psychiatric context. We examined associations between the three phenotypic constructs of the triarchic model of psychopathy (i.e., boldness, meanness, disinhibition), self-assessed empathy and anxiety, and clinical variables in 91 individuals undergoing pretrial forensic psychiatric evaluation in Sweden. Participants completed the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM) and self-report measures of empathy and anxiety. Clinical variables, including psychiatric diagnoses and criminal behavior, were collected from the forensic psychiatric evaluations (FPE). All three subscales of the TriPM displayed significant and predominantly anticipated correlations with empathy and trait anxiety measures. TriPM Disinhibition was the only subscale with significant associations with the clinical variables collected from the FPEs. The results provide evidence for the reliability and construct validity of the Swedish translation of the TriPM in a pretrial forensic setting.
三因素精神病态模型的结构效度尚未在瑞典法医精神病学背景下得到评估。我们研究了精神病态三因素模型的三个表型结构（即大胆、卑鄙、抑制不足）、自我评估的同理心和焦虑与瑞典91名接受审前法医精神病学评估的个体的临床变量之间的关联。参与者完成了三因素精神病态量表（TriPM）以及同理心和焦虑的自我报告量表。临床变量，包括精神科诊断和犯罪行为，是从法医精神病学评估（FPE）中收集的。TriPM的所有三个分量表都与同理心和特质焦虑量表显示出显著且主要是预期的相关性。TriPM抑制不足是唯一与从FPE中收集的临床变量有显著关联的分量表。研究结果为TriPM瑞典语翻译版在审前法医环境中的可靠性和结构效度提供了证据。
