“…Research has suggested an association between risk for violence and personality pathology (Olver, 2020; Yu et al, 2012). Modern taxonomies of clinical personality features conceptualize personality pathology using trait models such as the maladaptive traits in Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) in Section III of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5 -TR; American Psychiatric Association, 2022; Krueger et al, 2012).…”

Previous research has shown that maladaptive personality traits in the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) are associated with potential for violence. AMPD traits can be measured at varying levels of specificity, ranging from broad personality domains to more specific trait facets. The level of abstraction at which traits might be optimal for predicting violence remains unclear. In this study, we used hierarchical principal component analysis to construct a hierarchical structure of AMPD traits and a Bayesian approach to multiple regression to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of traits at different levels of specificity for predicting violence potential in a sample of college students (N = 922). Results suggest that, in general, maladaptive traits account for a large amount of variance in potential for violence and that validity increases with greater complexity in the trait model. These findings add to previous research on the applications of AMPD traits and have implications for the use of these traits in applied risk assessments. Public Significance StatementThis study showed that maladaptive aspects of personality are associated with potential for violence among college students. This is especially the case for the trait assessments with either five general traits or 25 specific traits.

The current study explored the relations between patient characteristics and psychopathic traits in predicting treatment involvement. We rated treatment involvement using detailed archival clinical files of 218 individuals committed to the Massachusetts Treatment Center (MTC). Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) scores had been rated from a previous study on the same sample. Overall, PCL-R Facets 2 and 4 significantly predicted decreases in treatment involvement, suggesting the characteristics associated with these facets have the most disruptive effects on treatment involvement. Exploratory analyses were also conducted assessing the relations between the PCL-R facets and the individual treatment involvement components. Whereas Facet 2 significantly predicted lower levels in all three individual treatment involvement components, Facet 4 only significantly predicted lower levels in two, highlighting the differentiating effects of these facets. Identifying the components that have either positive or negative effects on treatment involvement can allow clinicians to tailor treatments to optimize treatment involvement and outcome.
