Highlights  An examination of psychopathy related facets in EPQ-R Psychoticism (P) Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the 2, 3 and 4 factor models of psychopathy in P  support the 4 factor model over 2 factor model, but 3 factor model had best fit  P-facets show predicted divergent associations with psychopathy related traits  linked to high psychopathy, impulsivity and aggression, and low empathy *Highlights (for review)The P-psychopathy continuum and facets of P 1 The P-psychopathy continuum: Facets of Psychoticism and their associations with psychopathic tendencies Abstract Eysenck proposed that psychopathy is at the extreme end of the Psychoticism (P) personality dimension (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1976). This study examined (i) whether psychopathy-relevant P items of the EPQ-R can form psychometrically valid facets that map onto the conceptualization of the two-, three-or four-factor models of psychopathy using confirmatory factor analysis (N=577) in a normal population; and (ii) whether those P-facets have criteria-related validity in associations with self-reported primary and secondary psychopathy, impulsivity (subsample N=306), and measures of trait empathy and aggression (subsample N=212). The four-factor model incorporating affective, interpersonal, impulsive, and antisocial facets of P was superior to the two-factor model; however, the three-factor conceptualization excluding the antisocial P-facet was the best fit. The facets show predicted divergent associations with primary and secondary self-reported psychopathy and trait measures. Findings are discussed in light of Eysenck's P-psychopathy continuity hypothesis and the applicability of facet approaches to the prediction of psychopathic and antisocial tendencies.

“…I Coefficienti di Congruenza (Congruence Coefficients -CC) sono stati impiegati per valutare la similarità tra le strutture fattoriali osservate e quelle ipotizzate (Barrett et al, 1998). In aggiunta, per escludere differenze dovute all'orientamento degli assi, sono stati calcolati anche i CC dopo una rotazione Procrustes, utilizzando il pbmetrix software Orthosim-2 (http://www.…”

Negli ultimi anni il modello categoriale della psicosi e della schizofrenia in particolare, è stato riconsiderato a favore di una visione dimensionale. Questa assume che I sintomi psicotici differiscono in modo quantitativo dalle normali esperienze psichiche distribuendosi lungo un continuum che va dalla popolazione clinica affetta da schizofrenia ad individui con disturbo di personalità, fino alla popolazione generale che può mostrare esperienze simil psicotiche (Hanssen et al., 2003; Johns & Phil, 2005). Tale continuità fenomenologica è suggerita da studi che mostrano che le dimensioni del fenotipo della psicosi subclinica sono molto simili a quelle identificate nei disturbi clinici (Van Os et al. 2000; Van Os & Tamminga, 2007; Rossler et al., 2007). Sono state infatti riportate dimensioni positive e negative sia in ambito clinico che subclinico, mentre più incerta appare la presenza della dimensione disorganizzazione (Vollema & Hoijtink, 2000; van Os et al., 2002). Vari studi hanno riportato che i fenotipi clinico e non clinico condividono fattori di rischio, meccanismi psicologici ed i pattern epidemiologici (Sharpley & Peters,1999; Johns & van Os, 2001; van Os et al., 2001), fornendo un'ulteriore prova che l'espressione clinica e subclinica delle psicosi fanno parte dello stesso continuum.

“…Of the many traits taxonomies used in personality research, the psychobiological model developed by has been most prominently used in mass media personality research, and has shown consistent results across a variety of cultures and samples Barrett, Petrides, Eysenck, & Eysenck, 1998). Eysenck's model is based on the hierarchical organization of traits (such as sociability, anxiety, and creativity), which point to "more-or-less consistent and recurrent patterns of acting and reacting that simultaneously characterize individuals and differentiate them from others" (McCrae & Costa, 2000).…”

The relationship between the psychobiological model of personality types (psychoticism, extraversion, and neuroticism) devised by and Internet use and usage motives was examined. A sample of 210 undergraduate students were asked to report on their motives for using the Internet and how often they engaged in a variety of Internet and web-based activities. The findings demonstrate distinctive patterns of Internet use and usage motives for those of different personality types.
