“…Even in forensic samples, vignettes are the most commonly used instrument for assessing HAB and are usually preferred over other experimental methods such as self-assessment instruments or a real-time social experiment. To date, vignettes have been shown to have a relationship to many other violence-related constructs such as impulsivity ( r = .48, p < .01), psychopathy ( r = .66, p < .01), violence ( r = .48, p < .01), number of committed crimes ( r = .44, p < .01), self-reported participation in fights and assaults ( r = .46, p < .01), and exposure to visual violence-related stimuli (weapons; r = .37, p < .01; Seager, 2005). Furthermore, the vignettes have been shown to distinguish well between violent and nonviolent offenders, as well as between offenders with and without psychopathy-features (Serin, 1991).…”
