“…In line with previous findings, psychopathy was more pronounced in men than in women (e.g. de Vogel & Lancel, 2016;Issa, Falkenbach, Trupp, Campregher, & Lap, 2017;Miller et al, 2011). This finding corroborates the validity of the data obtained in the present study, together with the importance of studying sex differences in psychopathy.…”

One of the most prominent models of psychopathy operationalizes this construct as consisting of four factors: interpersonal, affective, lifestyle and antisocial traits. These traits show different relationship patterns with other constructs, and these relations may differ in men and women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the relations between psychopathic traits and indicators of emotional distress (depression, anxiety and stress), differ between men and women. Data was collected on 650 students (60% women) at the University of Zagreb. The results of Canonical Correlation Analysis indicated that affective psychopathic traits have adaptive potential and represent a protective factor for experiencing emotional distress, while Lifestyle and Antisocial behavior represent risk factors for emotional distress. Moreover, sex had a moderating role in the relationship between Interpersonal and Lifestyle traits and distress, indicating that psychopathic traits seem to be more adaptive in males, compared to females.

“…Psychopathy research notes construct differences in culture (e.g., Issa et al, 2017), gender (Falkenbach et al, 2015; Falkenbach, Reinhard, & Larson, 2017), and race (Gatner et al, 2016), which means that using a multinational sample could impact results. For example, the multinational sample could obscure significant differences in the way that high and low psychopathy individuals interpret nonverbal cues because the relationship between psychopathy and nonverbal decoding could vary by country.…”

“…Perhaps unsurprisingly, most psychopathy research focuses on forensic populations. However, an estimated 1% of the general population may fit the criteria for psychopathy (Hare, 1996) and as such, it is studied in community (e.g., DeMatteo, Heilbrun, & Marczyk, 2005), student (e.g., Kahn, Brewer, Kim, & Centifanti, 2017), and corporate (e.g., Howe, Falkenbach, & Massey, 2014), and even law enforcement (e.g., Falkenbach et al, in press; Falkenbach, McKinley, & Larson, 2017) samples, considering diversity across cultures (e.g., Issa, Falkenbach, Trupp, Campregher, & Lap, 2017), gender (Falkenbach, Barese, Balash, Reinhard, & Hughs, 2015; Falkenbach, Reinhard, & Larson, 2017), and race (Gatner, Blanchard, Douglas, Lilienfeld, & Edens, 2016). Although psychopathy is most commonly measured using the Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 2003), self-report measures such as the Psychopathic Personality Inventory–Revised (PPI-R; Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005) are typically used in nonforensic samples.…”

This research examined the role of psychopathic traits in perceptions of victimization and vulnerability. Community-member participants viewed video clips of victims, nonvictims, and victims who studied self-defense, then rated them on vulnerability and perceived history of victimization. Participants were most proficient at identifying nonvictims as nonvictims. Victims who studied self-defense were harder to correctly identify than both victims and nonvictims and were rated by participants as less vulnerable and less likely to be victims than other victims and nonvictims. Moreover, individuals high in psychopathic traits, specifically Factor 2, were more likely than individuals low in psychopathic traits to correctly identify victims who practiced self-defense as victims, as well as nonvictims as victims. Unexpectedly, there was an observed negative relationship between facial affect decoding and identifying self-defense victims. The ability to correctly interpret facial expressions was found to partially mediate the relationship between psychopathy scores and the identification of self-defense victims. The results of this study provide insight into the ability of individuals with psychopathic traits to identify nonverbal cues associated with vulnerability. The results provide evidence that taking self-defense classes may be a meaningful intervention for victims, particularly.

“…Li et al (2015) explored HAB as a mediator between artificially heightened narcissism and aggression in a Chinese college sample but found no mediating relationship despite a predictive relationship between HAB and aggression. Cultural (e.g., Issa, Falkenbach, Trupp, Campregher, & Lap, 2017) or definitional (e.g., not analogous with Raskin & Terry, 1988) differences may account for their lack of findings. Vitale et al (2005) analyzed HAB as a mediator between psychopathy and violent crime in prisoners but found that HAB was not associated with violent crime.…”

Hostile Attribution Bias as a Mediator of the Relationships of Psychopathy and Narcissism With Aggression

Hostile attribution bias (HAB), the tendency to perceive hostility in ambiguous situations, has been linked to aggressive outcomes, such as reactive aggression. HAB has been connected to personality types involving hostile beliefs and reactive aggression, including narcissism and psychopathy. Specifically, secondary psychopathy is associated with HAB and reactive aggression. Despite research and theory connecting these constructs, few studies have examined if HAB mediates the relationships among psychopathy, narcissism, and aggression. The current study explores this possible mediation in an urban college sample. Narcissism was associated with aggression but not hostile aggression or HAB. Reactive aggression and HAB were both associated with psychopathy, but there were no mediation relationships. The associations with aggression may be, therefore, due to underlying traits of secondary psychopathy rather than the hostile attributions to which the traits contribute; consequently, treatments focused on reducing aggressive responses by correcting interpretations of social situations may not be successful.
