“…This paradox becomes apparent in noting that in the Five-factor model, low scores on the anxiety factor are often a proxy for mental health(McCrae & Costa, 1999). A similar claim can be made for the MMPI(Holden, 2000).…”

“…Links with a number of other self-report measures relevant to the concept of psychopathy have yet to be evaluated with the new instrument: These include Blackburn and Fawcett's (1999) Antisocial Practices Questionnaire, the Socialization subscale of the California Personality Inventory (Gough & Bradley, 1996), Holden's (2000) Psychological Screening Index, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (Davis, 1983)-a self-report measure of empathy. Studies involving both the SRP-II and the PCL-R have suggested that these personality scales do relate to psychopathy in both forensic and clinical samples (e.g., Hart, Forth, & Hare, 1991;Rutherford, Alterman, Cacciola, & McKay, 1997;Rutherford, Cacciola, Alterman, & McKay, 1996;Williams & Paulhus, 2004).…”

A number of self-report psychopathy scales have been used successfully in both clinical and nonclinical settings. However, their factor structure does not adequately capture the four factors (Interpersonal, Affective, Lifestyle, and Antisocial) recently identified in the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 2003) and related measures. This deficit was addressed by upgrading the Self Report Psychopathy Scale (SRP-II; Hare, Hemphill, & Harpur, 1989). In Study 1 (N = 249), an exploratory factor analysis of this experimental version revealed oblique factors similar to those outlined by Hare (2003). In Study 2 (N = 274), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed this structure, that is, four distinct but intercorrelated factors. The factors exhibited appropriate construct validity in a nomological network of related personality measures. Links with self-reports of offensive activities (including entertainment preferences and behavior) also supported the construct validity of the oblique four-factor model.

“…Raw scores are converted to t scores based on normative population data. While the HPSI quantifies relatively enduring psychopathology, it can also be used to measure individual change [32]. Invalidity of HPSI respondent profiles (e.g., exaggeration or hyperbole, fabrication, omission of items, and/or poor question comprehension) was identified using established cutoff scores.…”

Purpose Relatively little is known about psychological effects of environmental hazard disasters. This study examines the development of posttraumatic stress (PTS) and tendency to limited panic attack after a large chlorine spill in a community. Methods In January 2005, a large chlorine spill occurred in Graniteville, SC. Acute injuries were quantified on an ordinal severity scale. Eight to ten months later, participating victims completed the Short Screening Scale for PTSD (n = 225) and the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory (HPSI) (n = 193) as part of a public health intervention. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity were likewise measured via spirometry. Two sets of univariate logistic regression models were fit to detect independent effects of each potential covariate and risk factor on PTS score and tendency to panic. A supplemental analysis examined whether poor lung function may be a confounder and/or effect modifier of the effect of acute injury on PTS score and panic. Results Of those who completed psychological screening, 36.9% exhibited PTS symptoms. FEV1, acute injury, and the HPSI psychiatric subscale were independently associated with increased PTS score. Acute injury severity scale and female sex were associated with tendency to panic. Immediate acute injury severity and poor lung function later were independently associated with PTS symptomotology. Conclusions The high prevalence of PTS and endorsement of tendency to panic within our sample show a need for mental health treatment after a chemical hazard disaster. Mental health personnel should be considerate of those with serious physical injuries.

“…For other participants, the PCL-R institutional file review and interview were conducted by M.A.K., trained in the administration of the instrument. In addition to obtaining completed PCL-R results, the self-report HPSI (Holden, 1991) was administered to inmates either individually or in small groups of less than 6 inmates.…”

“…To date, the psychometric strengths of the HPSI have been supported with samples drawn from various populations (Magruder, Holden, Stein, Sitarenios, & Sheldon, 2000). For example, all HPSI scales have had coefficient alpha reliabilities greater than .75 for offender (Holden, 2000; Reddick, 1998) and psychiatric offender (Holden & Grigoriadis, 1995) samples and 4-week test–retest reliabilities of at least .83 for university students. The HPSI’s item latent structure has matched closely with the inventory’s scoring key for psychiatric patient (congruence coefficients > .78; Holden, Mendonca, Mazmanian, & Reddon, 1992), offender (congruence coefficients > .90; Holden, 2000; Reddick, 1998), and psychiatric offender (congruence coefficients > .82; Holden & Grigoriadis, 1995) samples.…”

The 36-item, self-report Holden Psychological Screening Inventory (HPSI; R. R. Holden, 1996) and the Psychopathy Checklist--Revised (PCL-R; R. D. Hare, 1991) were administered to 214 male, adult prison inmates in Canadian federal correctional facilities. The 12-item HPSI Social Symptomatology scale, a measure of antisocial behavior, demonstrated a large effect size in significantly differentiating between PCL-R-identified psychopaths and nonpsychopaths. HPSI scales not theoretically related to psychopathic behavior showed no such significant effects. Findings are interpreted as supporting the criterion validity of the Social Symptomatology scale and suggest that this brief, self-report screen has research and clinical merit.
