“…The migration of the concept to children has shown many similar findings, with raters evidencing independent agreement, and measures demonstrating structural stability and concurrent and predictive meaning (see Salekin, 2006;Salekin, Rosenbaum, & Lee, 2009a) as well as a genetic basis (Larsson, Andershed, & Lichtenstein, 2006;Viding & Larsson, 2010). Several research findings have shown, however, that there may be some developmental differences in the concept of psychopathy in childhood, in that studies tend to indicate only modest levels of stability, greater levels of comorbidity (Kubak & Salekin, 2009;Salekin, Leistico, Trobst, Schrum, & Lochman, 2005;Salekin, Neumann, Leistico, DiCicco, & Duros, 2004b), and dissimilar correlates with internalizing symptoms and some performance tasks (see Forth, Kosson, & Hare, 2003;Lee, Salekin, & Iselin, 2010;Salekin, 2006;Salekin & Frick, 2005;Salekin, Rosenbaum, Lee, & Lester, 2009).…”

Psychopathy is thought by many to be an untreatable disorder. This article puts the treatment of psychopathy into historical context and reviews research on the treatment of the disorder with adults (K = 8) and youth (K = 5). Findings indicate that treatment for adults shows low to moderate success with three of eight studies demonstrating treatment gains. Treatment of youth appears to be more promising with six of eight studies showing treatment benefits. Although less than optimal success rates with adults, we suggest that bright line distinctions regarding the treatability of those with psychopathic characteristics from non-psychopathic individuals are inappropriate at this time. We conclude with directions for future research and briefly introduce the mental models approach for the treatment of psychopathy in youths.

“…Nonetheless, there are strong and differing opinions about the degree to which psychopathic features can be changed (see Salekin 2002Salekin , 2010. Some have suggested that because psychopathic features are neither completely heritable nor completely deterministic, interventions targeting key aspects of the environment could influence the developmental course of psychopathic features (Pardini and Loeber 2007;Salekin et al 2010).…”

This study examined whether Project Support, a parenting intervention shown to reduce child conduct problems, also exerts positive effects on features of psychopathy in children. Participants were 66 families (mothers and children) recruited from domestic violence shelters who participated in a randomized controlled trial evaluating Project Support. Each family included at least one child between the ages of 4 and 9 who was exhibiting clinical levels of conduct problems. Families were randomly assigned to the Project Support intervention condition or to an existing services comparison condition, and they were assessed on 6 occasions over 20 months, following their departure from the shelter. Children in families in the Project Support condition, compared with those in the comparison condition, exhibited greater reductions in features of psychopathy. Moreover, the changes in features of psychopathy remained after accounting for changes in conduct problems. Project Support's effects on features of psychopathy were mediated by improvements in mothers' harsh and inconsistent parenting. These findings on the effects of an intervention on features of psychopathy are the first from a randomized controlled trial. They inform the debate about whether features of psychopathy in children are responsive to intervention, and hold important implications for clinical practice.

“…De nombreux chercheurs se sont penchés, avec un certain succès, sur la capacité de définir les traits de personnalité psychopathiques à l'aide de mesures évaluant la personnalité en cinq facteurs (p. ex. Decuyper, De Clercq, De Bolle & De Fruyt, 2003 ;Lee & Ashton, 2005 ;Lynam et al, 2005 ;Paulhus & Williams, 2002 ;Salekin et al, 2012 ;Vachon, Lynam, Widiger, Miller, McCrae & Costa, 2013). Dans la présente étude, le NEO-FFI, une mesure brève de la personnalité en cinq facteurs, servira donc à évaluer la validité convergente du LSRP.…”

“…D'ailleurs, plusieurs chercheurs ont établi la présence de traits de personnalité psychopathiques infracliniques au sein de la population générale (Brinkley et al, 2004 ;Savard, Sabourin & Lussier, 2006, 2011. Leur apparition peut survenir dès l'enfance ou l'adolescence et ils demeureraient stables jusqu'à l'âge adulte (Lynam et al, 2005 ;Salekin, Rosenbaum & Lee, 2012), entraînant de nombreuses conséquences. Dans des contextes occupationnels, ces traits de personnalité sont associés à des vols, de la supervision abusive, un leadership malsain, une prise de décision non éthique et à de l'intimidation en milieu de travail (Babiak & Hare, 2007 ;Buss, 1993 ;Caponecchia, Sun & Wyatt, 2012 ;Hall & Benning, 2006 ;O'Boyle, Forsyth, Banks & McDaniel, 2012 ;Poon, 2003 ;Stevens, Deuling & Armenakis, 2012 ;Tepper, 2007).…”

L’échelle auto-rapportée de psychopathie de Levenson (LSRP ; Levenson, Kiehl & Fitzpatrick, 1995) est un instrument visant à évaluer les traits de personnalité psychopathiques au sein de la population générale. Il conceptualise la psychopathie en deux facteurs distincts, mais interreliés, appelés psychopathie primaire et secondaire. La validité de l’instrument dans son format original est bien démontrée, mais aucune donnée n’est disponible en ce qui a trait à l’adaptation francophone de l’instrument. L’étude vise donc à évaluer la structure factorielle et la validité convergente de la version française auprès d’une population de jeunes adultes. Un échantillon de 2529 participants âgés de 15 à 26 ans remplissent l’échelle auto-rapportée de psychopathie, le NEO-FFI et répondent aussi à des questions sur leurs habitudes à l’égard de la consommation de substances psychoactives. Les résultats des analyses factorielles exploratoires et confirmatoires montrent que l’adaptation francophone respecte la structure en deux facteurs, avec des coefficients de saturation et de consistance interne pour les deux échelles se comparant à ceux de la version originale anglaise. Les modèles de mesure pour les hommes et les femmes se sont avérés partiellement invariants ; les hommes obtiennent des résultats supérieurs à ceux des femmes aux échelles de psychopathie primaire et totale. Enfin, le LSRP démontre de bons indices de validité convergente.
