“…As found in other samples, internal consistencies of the TriPM were high in both samples. In both the community and forensic psychiatric patient samples, the TriPM subscales were differentially associated with the higher order factors of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R; Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005). Correlations were of moderate to high magnitudes.…”

Two studies were undertaken to examine preliminary construct validity of a newly developed, abbreviated measure of psychopathy. The Abbreviated Psychopathy Measure (APM) is a 33-item inventory that is closely modeled on the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM; Patrick, 2010), with a new and more parsimonious set of items. Analyses in Study 1 (N = 126) found that the Boldness, Meanness, and Disinhibition scales of the APM had high internal consistency reliabilities and were highly correlated with their counterpart scales on the TriPM. The APM Total score was very highly correlated with the TriPM Total score (r = .90). Each of the APM scales was also significantly correlated with a measure of Antisocial Intent. In Study 2 (N = 140), the APM was very highly correlated with the Total score of a 36-item version of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP; Levenson, Kiehl, & Fitzpatrick, 1995). Additionally, the APM scales were associated differentially with normal range personality variables associated with psychopathy (e.g., Boldness was robustly associated with Extraversion, Meanness was highly and inversely associated with Agreeableness, Disinhibition was robustly and negatively associated with Conscientiousness). The APM appeared to differ most significantly from the TriPM in that APM Boldness was moderately correlated with Meanness and Disinhibition. APM Boldness may capture a more maladaptive quality of boldness relative to TriPM Boldness through a greater emphasis on low harm avoidance or fearlessness in comparison to TriPM Boldness. The APM is potentially a promising brief measure of psychopathy; however, further study is needed to determine whether the moderately inter-correlated APM scales can distinguish among conceptually relevant constructs. Directions for future research are discussed.

“…The TriPM manual (Patrick, 2010) defines boldness as "nexus of high dominance, low anxiousness and venturesomeness" (p. 2). This scale was developed from the "fearless dominance" subscale of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI; Lilienfeld & Andrews, 2006; PPI-R; Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005). The PPI is also a self-report measure used to assess psychopathy.…”

Psychopathic personality disorder is the subject of many research papers and in particular in the context of forensic settings, where its link to risk of future violent has been established. This topic is well examined but there is still considerable debate bout the nature of the construct and how psychopathy is measured. Contemporary models such as the triarchic theory (Patricks, Fowles and Krueger (2009)

“…Thus, some of these traits may be interpreted to be positive and perhaps to underpin successful enterprise. The boldness concept is highly correlated with that of "fearlessness" as conceptualised by another measurement scale for psychopathy, the Psychopathy Personality Inventory9 Revised (PPI9 R: Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005). However, the concept of "fearlessness" or "boldness" with regard to psychopathy is the subject of some controversy.…”
