To date, very few studies have explored the association between psychopathic traits and risky sexual behavior (RSB) among women. Here, we investigated this relationship in a sample of 137 incarcerated women. Psychopathic traits were assessed via the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) and lifetime RSB measures, including number of lifetime sexual partners, frequency of engaging in sexual intercourse while intoxicated, and frequency of forgoing protection (e.g., condom usage) during sexual intercourse, were assessed through self-report. PCL-R Facet 3 scores (assessing lifestyle psychopathic traits) were associated with an increased frequency of engaging in sexual intercourse while intoxicated. In addition, women scoring high on the PCL-R were more likely to engage in sexual intercourse while intoxicated compared with a previously collected sample of men scoring high on the PCL-R. The results obtained in the current study help improve our understanding of the association between psychopathic traits and RSB among women.
迄今为止，很少有研究探讨女性心理变态特质与危险性性行为（RSB）之间的关联。在此，我们对137名被监禁女性样本进行了此项关系的调查。通过《哈雷精神病态量表修订版》（PCL-R）评估心理变态特质，并通过自我报告评估终生RSB指标，包括终生性伴侣数量、醉酒时发生性行为的频率以及性行为时不采取保护措施（如使用避孕套）的频率。PCL-R第3方面得分（评估生活方式方面的心理变态特质）与醉酒时发生性行为的频率增加有关。此外，与之前收集的PCL-R得分高的男性样本相比，PCL-R得分高的女性更有可能在醉酒时发生性行为。本研究所得结果有助于增进我们对女性心理变态特质与RSB之间关联的理解。
