          Abstract

          Zusammenfassung. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Konstruktvalidität und Faktorenstruktur der deutschen Version des Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI), einem Selbstbeurteilungsverfahren, welches psychopathische Persönlichkeitseigenschaften effizient erfasst. Die Verteilung psychopathischer Persönlichkeitseigenschaften und deren Korrelation mit der selbstberichteten Delinquenz wird in einer repräsentativen Schulstichprobe ( N = 840) untersucht. Das YPI zeigte in der deutschsprachigen Version eine gute interne Konsistenz (α = .92). Die Jungen erreichten signifikant höhere Werte als die Mädchen. Die drei Faktoren (interpersonaler, affektiver und behavioraler Faktor) der Originalversion wurden sowohl für Jungen als auch für Mädchen bestätigt. Außerdem korrelierten alle drei Faktoren mit der selbstberichteten Delinquenz. Mit der deutschsprachigen Version des YPI sind psychopathische Persönlichkeitseigenschaften im Selbsturteil reliabel und valide erfassbar.

          Construct Validity and Factor Structure of the German Version of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI) in a Representative School Sample

          Abstract. The present study examined the construct validity and factor structure of the German version of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI), a self-report measure assessing psychopathic personality traits efficiently. The distribution of psychopathic traits and their correlation with self-reported delinquency were examined in a representative school sample ( N = 840). The German version of the questionnaire showed a good internal consistency (α = .92). Boys had significantly higher scores than girls did. Moreover, all three factors of the original version were confirmed for boys and girls. All three factors correlated with self-reported delinquency. Thus, the German version of the YPI is a reliable and valid measure of self-reported psychopathic traits.

          Refining the construct of psychopathy: towards a hierarchical model.

          Psychopathy is characterized by diverse indicators. Clinical accounts have emphasized 3 distinct facets: interpersonal, affective, and behavioral. Research using the Psychopathy Checklist--Revised (PCL-R), however, has emphasized a 2-factor model. A review of the literature on the PCL-R and related measures of psychopathy, together with confirmatory factor analysis of PCL-R data from North American participants, indicates that the 2-factor model cannot be sustained. A 3-factor hierarchical model was developed in which a coherent superordinate factor, Psychopathy, is underpinned by 3 factors: Arrogant and Deceitful Interpersonal Style, Deficient Affective Experience, and Impulsive and Irresponsible Behavioral Style. The model was cross-validated on North American and Scottish PCL-R data, Psychopathy Screening Version data, and data derived from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) antisocial personality disorder field trial.

            Development and preliminary validation of a self-report measure of psychopathic personality traits in noncriminal populations.

            Research on psychopathology has been hindered by persisting difficulties and controversies regarding its assessment. The primary goals of this set of studies were to (a) develop, and initiate the construct validation of, a self-report measure that assesses the major personality traits of psychopathy in noncriminal populations and (b) clarify the nature of these traits via an exploratory approach to test construction. This measure, the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI), was developed by writing items to assess a large number of personality domains relevant to psychopathy and performing successive item-level factor analyses and revisions on three undergraduate samples. The PPI total score and its eight subscales were found to possess satisfactory internal consistency and test-retest reliability. In four studies with undergraduates, the PPI and its subscales exhibited a promising pattern of convergent and discriminant validity with self-report, psychiatric interview, observer rating, and family history data. In addition, the PPI total score demonstrated incremental validity relative to several commonly used self-report psychopathy-related measures. Future construct validation studies, unresolved conceptual issues regarding the assessment of psychopathy, and potential research uses of the PPI are outlined.
