“…A number of prior studies have focused on investigating potential differences in alcohol use and psychopathic features across ethnic groups (e.g., Chartier & Caetano, 2010; Grant, Vergés, Jackson, Trull, Sher, & Bucholz, 2012; Sullivan, Abramowitz, Lopez & Kosson, 2006). Therefore, a supplemental analysis was conducted that examined multi-group invariance in the final LCM-SR model across African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic ethnic groups.…”

The current study examined whether there is a bidirectional association between changes in alcohol use and psychopathic features during the transition into emerging adulthood. The nature of this association was investigated among a large sample of serious male adolescent offenders (N = 1,170) across 7 annual assessments (ages ~17–23), with a focus on disaggregating between- and within-person change. Findings indicated that there was significant variability between participants in their rate of change of psychopathic features and alcohol use throughout this period of development. Both, between- and within-person increases in alcohol use tended to parallel increases in psychopathic features during the transition into emerging adulthood. In addition, evidence indicated that during years when adolescents consumed more alcohol than normal, they experienced higher than usual levels of self-reported psychopathic features at the subsequent assessment. The relevance of these findings for public policy and their potential to inform treatments and interventions are discussed.

“…Sullivan, Abramowitz, Lopez, and Kosson (2006) demonstrated structural consistency and construct validity of PCL-R psychopathy across European American, Latino, and African American subcultures in North America. Research in the United Kingdom has revealed configural and metric invariance of PCL-R ratings across prisoner nationalities (Cooke et al, 2005), and good cross-national reliability of PCL-R scores has been established between Scottish and Canadian assessors (Cooke et al, 2004).…”

The generalizability of the psychopathy construct to Eastern European cultures has not been well-studied, and no prior studies have evaluated psychopathy in non-offender samples from this population. The current validation study examines the factor structure, internal consistency, and external validity of the Bulgarian translation of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version. Two hundred sixty-two Bulgarian adults from the general community were assessed, of which 185 had a history of substance dependence. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit for the two-, three-, and four-factor models of psychopathy. Zero-order and partial correlation analyses were conducted between the two factors of psychopathy and criterion measures of antisocial behavior, internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, personality traits, addictive disorders and demographic characteristics. Relationships to external variables provided evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of the psychopathy construct in a Bulgarian community sample.

“…There is also initial evidence that psychopathy can be adequately measured by the PCL-R in Latino Americans (LA) (Sullivan, Abramowitz, Lopez, & Kosson, 2006). However, several studies have reported differences between EA and AA individuals on laboratory measures of mechanisms thought to underlie psychopathy (Doninger & Kosson, 2001;Lorenz & Newman, 2002), and it has been proposed that ethnicity should be routinely considered in psychopathy research, particularly with regards to criminality (Walsh et al, 2004).…”

A large body of literature has established that the construct of psychopathy is broadly related to violence, and the clinical application of the psychopathy construct as a predictor of violence appears to be increasing. This increased application warrants further specification of this relationship. That is, it may be important to identify factors that moderate relationships between psychopathy and violence, and to determine the extent to which subcomponents of the syndrome account for the relationships between psychopathy and specific types of violence. The present review summarises initial attempts to address these goals. We begin by summarising recent trends in the forensic application of the psychopathy construct. We then examine evidence bearing on the extent to which the predictive power of psychopathy for violence is moderated by other factors. Finally, we examine relationships between subcomponents of the psychopathy construct and specific types of violent and aggressive behaviour to examine whether relationships between psychopathy and violence are accounted for by specific components of psychopathy.
