“…Our results are consistent with the findings of most studies conducted in this field, but they are not in parallel with some other studies. In agreement with most research results in this field, we found significant negative correlations between agreeableness and psychopathy in both male and female prisoners (1,10,16,(19)(20)(21). The results of the studies indicate that low agreeableness is one of the noticeable characteristics in people with the psychopathic disorder.…”

“…In the current study, we found a significant negative relationship between psychopathy and conscientiousness in male prisoners although this was not true in female prisoners. The relationship in male prisoners is consistent with the literature (10,16,(19)(20)(21), with no contradictory results. These findings are consistent with those obtained by Hare regarding the psychopathic personality characterized by traits such as inability to take responsibility for their actions, parole violation, and non-accountability.…”

“…Psychopathy was the first identified personality disorder in psychiatry and it has a clinical tradition and a long history. During the last decade, the validity of psychopathy has developed by a series of research (10) although this concept was not officially identified as a personality disorder in the third revision of statistical manual and diagnosis of psychological disorders DSM III (1980). Nevertheless, interest in psychopathy has grown and its evaluation has increasingly gained importance in risk assessment.…”

Background: Research in the field of personality has tried to recognize the main traits that reflect the building blocks of personality. For instance, personality dimensions, especially the five-factor model, deals with the field of personality disorder, especially the psychopathic personality disorder. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the personality traits of psychopathic prisoners, nonpsychopathic prisoners, and non-prisoner patients separated by gender in Tehran. Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was conducted on 355 participants including 202 male prisoners, 105 female prisoners, and 48 non-prisoner patients. All the participants filled out the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and the Revised Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory. The data were analyzed by the Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), and Scheffe's post hoc test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between psychopathy and extraversion and a significant negative relationship between psychopathy and openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness in male prisoners. The relationships were significant at the level of 0.1. Conclusions: By comparing male psychopathic and non-psychopathic prisoners, female psychopathic and non-psychopathic prisoners, and non-prisoner non-psychopathic patients, it was found that psychopathic prisoners had lower levels of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness than the other groups.

“…Psychopathy has also demonstrated relationships with the DSM-IV defined Personality Disorders in forensic populations (Blackburn & Coid, 1998;Decuyper, De Fruyt, & Buschman, 2008;Ross, Bye, Wrobel & Horton, 2008). However, the research used clinical tools, which are designed to diagnose people with significant deficits in psychological functioning.…”

There is currently limited evidence for the two-factor structure of Psychopathy. The aim was to provide evidence for the construct validity of Primary and Secondary Psychopathy. Batteries including the Five Factor Model, the Hogan Development Survey, and Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Empathy, and Aggression, were administered to 241 undergraduate psychology students. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a two component structure fitted the data reasonably well (chi-square = 1.939, CFI = .799, RMSEA = .063). The strongest markers of Primary Psychopathy were Agreeableness, Empathy, and the HDS Bold and HDS Colourful subscales, while the strongest markers of Secondary Psychopathy were Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and HDS Excitable. It was concluded that preliminary evidence for the two-factor model of Psychopathy had been gained.

“…When applied to clinical samples, personality scales like those of the NEO-PI-R have been shown to be predictive of specific personality disorders [3, 4]. Scales of neuroticism, depression, and anxiety yield higher scores in depressed patients [5, 6], and scales measuring reactive or spontaneous aggression yield higher means in patients with impulse control disturbances, antisocial personality disorders [7] or alcohol dependence [8] than in nonclinical groups. Therefore, scores of depression and aggression on personality tests are conceived as models for respective psychopathological symptoms.…”

Since clinical and biochemical observations point to much overlap between depression and aggression, both characterised by intolerance to frustration, a questionnaire was developed to test if different patterns of depressive and aggressive reactions elicited by exposure to negative events and deprivation from expected positive ones in human and nonhuman conditions, respectively, would result in specific response patterns in depressive and aggressive persons. The questionnaire was tested for internal consistency in a pilot healthy sample and for correlations of responses with the personality factors of Aggression and Depression in 60 abstinent male alcoholics. Aggressive and depressive responses were highly correlated across all stimulus conditions, and not specifically but rather equally associated with the personality factors of Aggression and Depression, confirming the close association between these dimensions.
