“…The internal consistency of the HEXACO factors ranged from .73 to .77. The TSIS means were comparable to Study 1 means and approximate the values found in other studies (Grieve & Mahar, 2013;Silvera et al, 2001).…”

“…Table 3 provides descriptive statistics and internal consistencies for the HEXACO, TSIS, and SOI-R measures. The TSIS factors showed comparable means as previous studies using male samples (Grieve & Mahar, 2013;Silvera et al, 2001) and the internal consistencies as well, except Social Awareness, which was low. The SOI-R means were higher than what has been reported elsewhere in normative samples for males (Penke & Asendorpf, 2008).…”

“…The three factors are Social Information Processing (SP; e.g., "I can predict other peoples' behavior"), Social Skills (SS; e.g., "I am good at getting on good terms with new people"), and Social Awareness (SA; e.g., "I have often hurt others without realizing it"). The factors are significantly and moderately correlated with each other (rs = 0.16-0.39), the internal consistency evaluated with Cronbach's alpha range from 0.72 to 0.86 , and excellent test-retest properties have been reported (r = 0.90; Grieve & Mahar, 2013). The SP factor and its items are all uniquely uncorrelated with a measure of social desirability, whereas the SS and SA items have some relation with desirable responding.…”

Mimicking Desirable Intimate Partners: Adaptationism Applied to an Evolutionary Hypothesis of Psychopathy

Brazil¹

This thesis sought to examine the fundamental question asking whether psychopathy better represents an evolved personality disposition or is a result of disorder of the developing brain.The central concern for the hypothesis development and study design was to assess the potential function of psychopathy-whether the traits of psychopathy perform a specific function that was selected and shaped over time to have a specific effect on reproduction that explains its existence. From research of female mate preference, psychopathic deception and sexuality, and extreme phenotypic expression in males, a hypothesis is formalised and tested-the sexual exploitation hypothesis. Competing hypotheses-social exploitation and disorder hypothesesare also included to execute the method of multiple working hypotheses (Chamberlain, 1890(Chamberlain, /1965. The study used a two-part methodology. Study 1 included university males assessed on psychopathic traits being assessed on fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and video recorded telling feigned remorse stories and in dating scenarios. Study 2 included male and female participants who rated the remorse stories on genuineness, trustworthiness, and believability, and female participants rated the dating scenarios on desirability and left voicemail messages for the males.Results of Study 1 found that psychopathy was unrelated to FA, but inversely related to Factor 1.Results of Study 2 showed that female raters tended to give higher ratings of trustworthiness and believability to males higher in psychopathy compared to male raters. Additionally, single females and those high in Emotionality tended to consistently give preferentially higher ratings for high psychopathy males. Females tended to give higher dating scenario ratings for high psychopathy males (especially Lifestyle facet) and spoke in a higher voice pitch to males higher in Factor 1. Results support the sexual exploitation hypothesis over the competing hypotheses and implications of the hypothesis discussed. PSYCHOPATHY: MIMICKING DESIRABLE INTIMATE PARTNERSiii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Adelle Forth, for taking me on as a graduate student to pursue ideas of evolutionary theory in psychopathy. She has provided me with amazing opportunities to build my skills as a researcher and scientist, and I am immensely grateful for her encouraging, curious, and optimistic attitude. This thesis project owes its structure and content to Dr. Forth's guidance and facilitation as a supervisor to promote the completion of the best project possible in such a short time. The pride and excitement I have in completing this work is deeply tied to the important role that she has played and I look forward to maintaining a rich and collaborative relationship in the future. I want to acknowledge the committee members for my thesis. First, Dr. Michael Seto, who provided recommendations during the thesis prospectus to include a task that can more directly assess the novel hypothesis. Because of Dr. Seto's recommendations...

“…According to this line of theorizing, it has been found that emotion understanding correlates with several social competencies: problem solving strategies in conflict within close relationships and friendships (Lopes et al, 2004;Song et al, 2010;Stolarski, Postek & Śmieja, 2011), coping strategies in school environment (MacCann, Fogarty, Zeidner & Roberts, 2011), empathy (Ciarrochi, Chan & Caputi, 2001), providing social support (Lopes, Brackett, Nezlek, Schütz, Sellin & Salovey, 2004;Song et al, 2010), impression management (Lopes et al, 2004), perspective taking (Schröder-Abé & Schütz, 2011), social intelligence (namely social awareness, social information processing and social skills; Grieve & Mahar, 2013), shyness, cooperation, self-confidence and leadership (Gil-Olarte, Palomera & Brackett, 2006). Much of this research has also shown that the above-mentioned social competencies (empathy, coping strategies, conflict resolution strategies, social support) mediate the relations between emotional abilities (e.g.…”

The study examines the associations of emotion understanding, interpersonal competencies, loneliness and correlated variables (perceived social support, quality of social networks). Two conceptual models of relations were tested. In the first model it was hypothesized that interpersonal competencies mediate relations between emotion understanding and loneliness, perceived social support and quality of social networks. In the second model emotion understanding was tested as a moderator of relationships between interpersonal competencies and loneliness, perceived social support and quality of social networks. Study 1 (n = 221) provided only a weak confirmation of the mediatory model, restricted to men. Study 2 (n = 206), employing different measures of emotion understanding and loneliness, confirmed weakly both the mediatory and moderatory models. In both studies a direct negative correlation between emotion understanding and loneliness was not confirmed.
