“…Retrospective studies of adults have indicated that adverse childhood experiences, such as ineffective parenting strategies and physical abuse, are associated with elevated Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R) total and facet scores and related outcomes such as early behavioral problems, an earlier onset of long-term criminal lifestyle, and a greater number of sentences/offenses (Blackburn & Coid, 1998; Laurell & Daderman, 2005; McBride, 1999; Poythress et al, 2006; Raine, 2002; Ullrich, Marneros, & Wittenberg, 2007). However, the accuracy of adult recollections of childhood events and of descriptions of parental personality traits and behaviors may be reduced by degradation of memories, as well as the possible impact of dissociation (Rogers, 1995). Therefore, it is interesting that some studies with adolescent participants have also identified links between environmental constructs and psychopathic traits (e.g., Beaver, Vaughn, DeLisi, Barnes, & Boutwell, 2012; Krischer & Sevecke, 2008).…”
