“…These traits were also found to be positive predictors of impulsiveness and sensation seeking in some studies (van Dongen et al, 2021; Sellbom & Phillips, 2013; Weidacker et al, 2017) but not in others (Anderson et al, 2021; Gray et al, 2019). A possible explanation for these inconsistencies could be the lack of convergence between theoretical conceptualizations of psychopathic traits, measures (self‐reported scales or clinician‐rated measures), and research populations (students, community samples, offenders, etc.,) across studies (Burghart & Mier, 2022; Campos et al, 2022; Sellbom & Drislane, 2020). Indeed, in the present study, we adopted a two‐factor conceptualization of psychopathic traits and focused on the primary component which refers to the affective and interpersonal style of individuals and is often considered the core representation of these personality traits (Salekin et al, 2014; Savard et al, 2014).…”
