“…The Pd scale of MM PI was originally dcrived and cross-validated upon hospitalized patients diagnosed "Psychopathic personality, asocial and amoral type" (42). Further research shows the scale to have a limited degree of predictive and concurrent validity for "delinquency" more broadly defined (5,28).…”

“…Early attempts to measure psychopathy through self-report, such as the Pd scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (McKinley & Hathaway, 1944) and the So scale of the California Psychological Inventory (Gough, 1960), shared only 7% to 28% of their variance (Hare, 1985), suggesting that they varied substantially in the psychopathy constructs that they measured. These measures also shared only 8% to 14% of their variance with global ratings of "Cleckley psychopathy" (Cleckley, 1941(Cleckley, /1988, Psychopathy Checklist (PCL) scores, and antisocial personality disorder (APD) symptoms (Hare, 1985), implying that they showed poor convergence both with other measures of psychopathy and with related personality disorders.…”

“…Psychopathy has also been described with reference to the Five-Factor Model of personality (FFM), which divides personality into five domains of Neuroticism, Extraversion (which has strong parallels with interpersonal Dominance; Trapnell & Wiggins, 1990), Openness, Agreeableness (which has strong parallels with interpersonal Love; Trapnell & Wiggins, 1990), and Conscientiousness. In the FFM, an average expert-generated prototype of psychopathy consisted of facets marking low Neuroticism, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness (Miller, Lynam, Widiger, & Leukefeld, 2001).Early attempts to measure psychopathy through self-report, such as the Pd scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (McKinley & Hathaway, 1944) and the So scale of the California Psychological Inventory (Gough, 1960), shared only 7% to 28% of their variance (Hare, 1985), suggesting that they varied substantially in the psychopathy constructs that they measured.

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Psychopathy Factors Assessed Via Self-Report

et al. 2005

Psychopathy has been conceptualized as a personality disorder with distinctive interpersonalaffective and behavioral deviance features. The authors examine correlates of the factors of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI), Self-Report Psychopathy-II (SRP-II) scale, and Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD) to understand similarities and differences among the constructs embodied in these instruments. PPI Fearless Dominance and SRP-II Factor 1 were negatively related to most personality disorder symptoms and were both predicted by high Dominance and low Neuroticism. In addition, PPI Fearless Dominance correlated positively with antisocial personality features, although SRP-II Factor 1 did not. In contrast, PPI Impulsive Antisociality, SRP-II Factor 2, and both APSD factors correlated with antisocial personality features and symptoms of nearly all personality disorders, and were predicted by low Love. Results suggest ways in which the measurement of the constructs in each instrument may be improved. KeywordsPsychopathic Personality Inventory; Self-Report Psychopathy-II scale; Antisocial Process Screening Device; psychopathy; self-report; nomological network Psychopathy is a personality disorder that is distinguished from common criminality and chronic antisociality by the presence of distinctive interpersonal-affective features (Hare, 2003;Harpur, Hare, & Hakstian, 1989;Lilienfeld, 1994;Lykken, 1995;Patrick & Lang, 1999). Recent self-report measures of psychopathy, including the Self-Report Psychopathy scale (SRP;Hare, 1985Hare, , 1991 and the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI; Lilienfeld & Andrews, 1996), demonstrate better convergence and coverage of both the interpersonalaffective and antisocial lifestyle features of psychopathy. Factor analytic work on these and other self-report instruments of psychopathy has revealed that many of these instruments have a two-factor structure, each of which parses the interpersonal-affective and behavioral features into separate subscales (Benning, Patrick, Hicks, Blonigen, & Krueger, 2003;Frick, O'Brien, Wootton, & McBurnett, 1994;Hare, 1991). Here, we examined in an undergraduate sample the construct validity of the two-factor structures of the PPI, the SRP-II scale, and a self-report version of the Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD; Frick & Hare, 2001). We examined the relations of each psychopathy factor to the others, to symptoms of other personality disorders, and to normal-range personality dimensions.Correspondence may be addressed either to Stephen D.

Cronbach and Meehl (1955) proposed the concept of the nomological network as a theoretical framework for understanding construct validity. In this framework, a network is set up between unobserved theoretical constructs ...

“…The MMPI (and thus MMPI-2) clinical scales were constructed using an empirical keying approach which means question items were incorporated that differentiated between healthy controls and, in the case of the Hy scale, those diagnosed with "psychoneurosis, hysteria" [12]. Thus, it was not the content of the question per se that was important, in fact many items in the MMPI contribute to multiple clinical scales, but whether a given patient endorses the item similarly to a diagnostic group [4].…”
