“…This three-factor model is coherent with the standard clinical descriptions of psychopathy such as personality disorder (Cooke et al, 2004;Morrissey et al, 2010), in which delinquent behaviour is not conceived as a feature intrinsic to psychopathy (Cooke et al, 2004), but is rather associated to an array of disorders, e.g., psychotic disorders, substance abuse, intellectual developmental disorder (Cooke, Hart, Logan, & Michie, 2012). Ever since its design, the model has been developed and validated by multiple samples (Hillege, de Ruiter, Smits, van der Baan, & Das, 2011;Morrisey et al, 2010;Sevecke, Pukrop, Kosson, & Krischer, 2009;Shariat et al, 2010;Skeem, Mulvey et al, 2003;Žukauskien et al, 2010), and beyond legal and forensic contexts (Book & Quinsey, 2003;LeBreton, Binning, & Adorno, 2006;Paulhus & Williams, 2002).…”

“…On the basis of this structure, several configurations have been identified, the most prominent of which are the four-factor hierarchical model (Hare, 2003) and the two-factor, four-facet hierarchical model (Bolt, Hare, Vitale, & Newman, 2004;Hare, 2003;Kennealy, Hicks, & Patrick, 2007). These models have been empirically corroborated by numerous studies (e.g., Hill, Neumann, & Rogers, 2004;Vitacco, Neumann, & Jackson, 2005;Žukauskien et al, 2010).…”

“…This approach has been corroborated by empirical data linking crimi n al behaviour with behavioural items on the PCL-R (delinquency and lifestyle), but not with those aspects which are traditionally associated to psychopathy, that is, affective and interpersonal ones (Eisenbarth, Osterheider, Nedopil, & Stadtland, 2012;Hodges & Heilbrun, 2009;Walters & Heilbrun, 2010;Žukauskien , Laurinavi ius, & snien , 2010). This has led some authors to postulate that behavioural items or criteria are useful for predicting violent behaviour (Skeem, Mulve y et al, 2003;Cooke, Michie, & Skeem, 2007), but lack diagnostic value.…”

A B S T R A C TThe aim of this study was to determine which of the factorial solutions proposed for the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) of two, three, four factors, and unidimensional fitted best the data. Two trained and experienced independent raters scored 197 prisoners from the Villabona Penitentiary (Asturias, Spain), age range 21 to 73 years (M = 36.0, SD = 9.7), of whom 60.12% were reoffenders and 73% had committed violent crimes. The results revealed that the two-factor correlational, three-factor hierarchical without testlets, four-factor correlational and hierarchical, and unidimensional models were a poor fit for the data (CFI ≤ .86), and the three-factor model with testlets was a reasonable fit for the data (CFI = .93). The scale resulting from the three-factor hierarchical model with testlets (13 items) classified psychopathy significantly higher than the original 20-item scale. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for theoretical models of psychopathy, decision-making, prison classification and intervention, and prevention.Se diseñó un estudio con el objetivo de conocer cuál de las soluciones factoriales propuestas para la Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) de dos, tres y cuatro factores y unidimensional era la que presentaba mejor ajuste a los datos. Para ello, dos evaluadores entrenados y con experiencia evaluaron de forma independiente a 197 internos en la prisión Villabona (Asturias, España), con edades comprendidas entre los 21 y los 73 años (M = 36.0, DT = 9.7), de los cuales el 60.12% eran reincidentes y el 73% había cometido delitos violentos. Los resultados mostraron que los modelos unidimensional, correlacional de 2 factores, jerárquico de 3 factores sin testlest y correlacional y jerárquico de 4 factores, presentaban un pobre ajuste con los datos (CFI ≤ .86) y un ajuste razonable del modelo jerárquico de tres factores con testlets (CFI = .93). La escala resultante del modelo de tres factores con testlets (13 ítems) mostró un poder de clasificación de la psicopatía significativamente superior al de la escala original (20 ítems). Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para los modelos teóricos de la psicopatía, la toma de decisiones, clasificación e intervención penitenciaria, y la prevención.

“…However, no research to date has examined the role of psychopathy in risk behavior among Eastern Europeans. On the contrary, the characterization of psychopathy among Eastern Europeans has received substantially less attention than in Western Europe, with only one previous study examining the construct validity of psychopathy in the Northeastern European country of Lithuania (Žukauskiene, Laurinavicius, & Cesniene, 2010). …”

The generalizability of the psychopathy construct to Eastern European cultures has not been well-studied, and no prior studies have evaluated psychopathy in non-offender samples from this population. The current validation study examines the factor structure, internal consistency, and external validity of the Bulgarian translation of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version. Two hundred sixty-two Bulgarian adults from the general community were assessed, of which 185 had a history of substance dependence. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit for the two-, three-, and four-factor models of psychopathy. Zero-order and partial correlation analyses were conducted between the two factors of psychopathy and criterion measures of antisocial behavior, internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, personality traits, addictive disorders and demographic characteristics. Relationships to external variables provided evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity of the psychopathy construct in a Bulgarian community sample.
