“…Behavioral genetic evidence for this perspective is provided in part by the study of identical twins reared apart, whose personality correlates (~.50) at just below the average stability of personality in adulthood (Bouchard et al, 1990). This evidence has been further (albeit in the tangentially related domain of life satisfaction) corroborated in longitudinal, quasi-experimental research on the effects of having children (Krämer & Rodgers, 2019).…”

Objectives: Despite wide interest in psychopathy, much remains unknown about its development and stability across the life-course.Hypotheses: We argue that research surrounding the construct of psychopathy will benefit from understanding and reflecting on the development of more normative personality styles.Methods: To begin filling the gaps, we first briefly review the existing research on the heritability, environmentality, and stability of psychopathic traits, focusing especially on callous-unemotional traits. Drawing on evidence that psychopathic traits can be reliably captured using measures of normative personality, we then discuss the broader literature on personality development and several leading developmental models.Results: We ultimately highlight preliminary evidence in favor of a genetic set-point theory for the development of psychopathic traits and discuss how this can guide research moving forward.Conclusion: Finally, we detail how findings from the broader personality literature can guide the design of future studies on the development of psychopathic traits.

“…Fluctuations around "set points" are expected, in the wake traumatic events, for example, (Hammen, 2005;, followed by returns to typical trait-levels. Favourable evidence comes from the study of twins reared together, and identical twins reared apart, whose personalities correlate (∼0.50) at just below the average stability of personality in adulthood (Bouchard et al, 1990;Krämer & Rodgers, 2019). The moving set point differs, but only slightly, by invoking "trajectories" as opposed to set points (see .…”

Individuals with psychopathic traits commit disproportionate amounts of crime (Hare, 1996), costing billions annually (Kiehl & Hoffman, 2011), while often creating general havoc in their social orbit (Smith & Lilienfeld, 2013). Given its ripple effects, the decades-long explosion of psychopathy research is unsurprising. For reasons we discuss, though, it is similarly unsurprising that certain foundational questions remain unresolved. Why do psychopathic traits vary and how do they develop over the life-course? Are the traits stable or malleable, and in either case what are the driving factors? Infusing it all are practical considerations about data and the requirements for producing answers. Relative to psychopathy, the study of normative personality has produced a deep reservoir of insight on these core issues, both empirical and theoretical (Briley & Tucker-Drob, 2017). We argue that by importing parts of their knowledge along with certain research designs, psychopathy research can take a rapid leap forward.

“…However, preregistration is still recommended as it makes clear the analyst's intentions in advance. Alternatively, preregistration can be done after a careful EDA, but before the CDA has begun on the hold-out sample (see Krämer & Rodgers, 2020, for an example of this strategy).…”

“…To see a strategy for handling these sorts of data using integrative data analysis, see Curran and Hussong (2009). Krämer and Rodgers (2020) defined three hold-out samples in a large archival dataset, one for EDA/rough CDA, one for strict CDA, and a third in case an uncontaminated dataset were useful to them or other research teams in the future; at this writing, the third dataset is still "available.

In light of the "replication crisis," some advocate for stricter standards and greater transparency in research methods. These efforts push toward a data analysis approach called "confirmatory data analysis" (CDA; see Wagenmakers et al., 2012). However, some (e.g., Baumeister, 2016;Goldin-Meadow, 2016) suggest that emphasizing CDA may restrict creativity and discovery. These scholars argued (sometimes inadvertently) for greater freedom to pursue "exploratory data analysis" (EDA; see Tukey, 1977). Ironically and unfortunately, many who push against stricter CDA standards do not realize EDA exists, or misunderstand the philosophy and proper tools for exploration. In this article, the meaning, tools, philosophy, and ethics associated with EDA, CDA, and a relatively unknown but important approach called "rough CDA" are clarified. Important distinctions are developed between EDA/rough CDA/CDA and other (some problematic) analysis activities including p-hacking, HARKing, and data mining, which are situated in a (graphical) framework that clarifies relationships and ethical boundaries with each. In short, the proper data analytic approach depends on (a) intentions and (b) transparency. Most psychological research is not at a maturity level to justify CDA; researchers have historically used tools mismatched to their research agenda. In the conclusion, recommendations are presented about how these typologies can be integrated into graduate training programs and how a cumulative research program can help psychology move beyond the replication crisis.
