Gender differences in psychopathy links to drug use.

Abstract: While the relationship between psychopathic personality traits and substance use has received some attention (Hart & Hare, 1989; Smith & Newman, 1990), gender differences have not been thoroughly assessed. The current study examined whether gender modified the relationship between two criminally-relevant constructs, a) psychopathy and its factors and b) drug use. A sample of 318 participants with criminal histories and recent substance use was assessed for psychopathy using the Psychopathy Checklist: Screening… Show more

“…This correlation suggests that there is a similar capacity for both instruments when measuring psychopathy 14 , 59 , although it should be highlighted that the CAPP dominance dimension and facet 2 of the PCL-R appear to reduce the frequency of substance consumption. On the other hand, the consumption of substances is more intensively associated, as it is in other previous studies, and, as is to be expected 32 , 60 , with factor 2 of the PCL-R and its facets 3 and 4. However, there is a clear difference: the CAPP is not related to committing offences, with the exception of the obvious relationship between emotional coldness (CAPP emotional, Table 6) and committing violent crimes.…”

“…Studies by Patrick et al and Reardon et al suggested no relationship between deficient affective empathy and smoking or alcohol problems, respectively, among male prison inmates [94,95]. Walsh demonstrated that empathic deficits were associated with younger age of onset of substance abuse, and the prevalence of substance use disorders, respectively [92], while Schulz et al showed that the combined affective/interpersonal facet of psychopathy was associated with a later age of onset of drug use, though only among women [96]. Finally, among male inmates, callous interpersonal style was directly related to substance use symptoms, while deficient affect was inversely related [92].…”

“…Research suggests that males are markedly more inclined to endorse paraphilic interests compared with females (e.g., Dawson et al, 2016), but little to no research has examined the extent to which gender may moderate (i.e., statistically affect the magnitude or direction of) the relation between personality disorder features and paraphilic interests. The literature on gender differences in the expression of psychopathy has been decidedly mixed, with several intriguing findings that have yet to be independently replicated (Cale & Lilienfeld, 2002;Miller, Watts, & Jones, 2011; but see Schulz, Murphy, & Verona, 2016;Sellbom, Donnelly, Rock, Phillips, & Ben-Porath, 2016). In light of these inconsistent results, we tentatively anticipated that gender would not moderate the patterns of relations between psychopathy and paraphilic interests.…”
