“…Furthermore, the present study shows that the personality predictors of psychopathy and alexithymia and their sub factors differ. This result is consistent with the findings and conclusions of others that psychopathy and alexithymia are independent (Frick et al, 2000;Hare, 1994;Levenson et al, 1995;Lilienfeld and Andrews, 1996), and their sub domains are distinct (Deary et al, 1997;Ross et al, 2004).…”

“…For example, research often reports that psychopathy is associated with low Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, and high Neuroticism (Hare, 1991;Miller et al, 2001;Ross et al, 2004). Alexithymia has been associated with high Neuroticism, low Extraversion, and low Openness (Pandey and Mandal, 1996;Thomas and Mann, 1994).…”

“…For example, college-age people do display high rates of antisocial behaviors, though they are not typically serious (Moffitt, 1993). Furthermore, studies have successfully assessed the relation between personality dimensions and dispositions related to psychopathy and alexithymia in nonclinical, noninstitutional populations using the same measures of personality and personality disorders as employed in the present study (Ross et al, 2004;Zimmerman et al, 2005). Nonetheless, given that research on personality disorders, particularly psychopathy, is largely based on specific populations (e.g., forensic), it is important that the relation between these disorders, stress, and personality be assessed with samples drawn from these unique populations.…”

“…When personality and psychopathy were assessed in known crack cocaine abusers, researchers reported that psychopathy could be understood as a constellation of those personality traits described by the FFM (Derefinko and Lynman, 2007). The FFM has been used to describe psychopathic dispositions in university students as well (Ross et al, 2004). Primary psychopathy (callous, calculating, and conning) was associated with low Agreeableness and secondary psychopathy (impulsivity and social deviance) was marked by high Neuroticism, low Agreeableness, and low Conscientiousness.…”

“…The disinhibition domain scores were found to be strongly marked by low Conscientiousness, low Agreeableness and high Neuroticism, as well as by high Excitement-Seeking but low Warmth from Extraversion. These results parallel previous empirical FFM descriptions of the externalizing component of psychopathy in terms of low constraint, high interpersonal antagonism, high emotional instability and maladjustment and even internalizing vulnerability Gaughan et al, 2009;Hall et al, 2004;Ross et al, 2004Ross et al, , 2009. Interestingly, Disinhibition scores were not related in a different manner to either of the FFM domains depending on gender, contrary to evidence showing stronger positive correlations between Openness and traits related to externalizing (SRP-III erratic lifestyle and antisocial behavior) for women than men (cf.…”

This study examined differential associations between phenotypic domains of the triarchic conceptualization of psychopathy (boldness, meanness, and disinhibition;Patrick, Fowles, & Krueger, 2009), as assessed by the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (Patrick, 2010b), and the five-factor model (FFM) of normal personality, as indexed by the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992; Spanish version, Costa & McCrae, 1999), in 349 undergraduates (96 men). Distinctive patterns of correlations for psychopathy components did not differ significantly across gender, although relations between Meanness and Agreeableness were stronger for men than for women. Our findings are largely consistent with the conceptualization of psychopathy in terms of FFM constructs and provide discriminant evidence in support of all 3 triarchic domains. Thus, meanness is marked by low Agreeableness and some degree of low Conscientiousness, whereas disinhibition is characterized both by low Conscientiousness and low Agreeableness along with high Neuroticism and Extraversion. Notably, the constellation of low Neuroticism, high Extraversion, and high Openness, with facets of low Agreeableness, supports the idea that boldness encompasses some adaptive features of psychological adjustment while depicting the interpersonal features of psychopathy.

Effects of psychopathy traits on unprovoked aggression

Research has demonstrated that risk of violent behavior is high in individuals who display psychopathic traits. However, prediction of general aggression, and in particular unprovoked aggression, in nonforensic men who possess such traits has received little experimental attention to date. This study examined the role of psychopathic traits in the prediction of unprovoked aggression in a nonforensic sample. One hundred and five men completed the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scales and competed in a sham aggression paradigm. These men were identified as unprovoked aggressors, provoked aggressors, and provoked nonaggressors contingent on their responses to the experimental paradigm. Findings indicated that men with high levels of psychopathic traits had a 30% greater probability of becoming aggressive in the absence of provocation relative to those with lower psychopathic traits. Results also indicated that unprovoked aggressors evinced more general aggression when provocation was initiated. Findings are discussed in terms of the importance of trait-based risk factors in the prediction of seemingly random, unprovoked aggression.
