Similar to PPI, but also includes elements of subscales in impulsive antisociality. The PCL-R in general is related to this but in particular some elements in Factor 1. Lacking empathy and close attachments with others, disdain of close attachments, use of cruelty to gain empowerment, exploitative tendencies, defiance of authority, and destructive excitement seeking. May correspond to impairments in frontal lobe systems that are involved in such control. Similar to PCL-R Factor 2 and PPI impulsive antisociality. Poor impulse control including problems with planning and foresight, lacking affect and urge control, demand for immediate gratification, and poor behavioral restraints. May correspond to differences in the amygdala and other neurological systems associated with fear. The PCL-R measures this relatively poorly and mainly through Facet 1 of Factor 1. Low fear including stress-tolerance, toleration of unfamiliarity and danger, and high self-confidence and social assertiveness. Analyses have been made with respect to the applicability of measurement tools such as the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL, PCL-R) and Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI) to this model. The triarchic model suggests that different conceptions of psychopathy emphasize three observable characteristics to various degrees. Efforts have therefore been made to clarify the meaning of the term. The label "psychopath" may have implications and stigma related to decisions about punishment severity for criminal acts, medical treatment, civil commitments, etc. The latter conceptualization is typically used as the modern clinical concept and assessed by the Psychopathy Checklist. There are multiple conceptualizations of psychopathy, including Cleckleyan psychopathy ( Hervey Cleckley's conception entailing bold, disinhibited behavior, and "feckless disregard") and criminal psychopathy (a meaner, more aggressive and disinhibited conception explicitly entailing persistent and sometimes serious criminal behavior). Completely lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they selfishly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret." "Psychopaths are social predators who charm, manipulate, and ruthlessly plow their way through life, leaving a broad trail of broken hearts, shattered expectations, and empty wallets. 5.1.2 Psychopathic Personality Inventory.2.3 Childhood and adolescent precursors.While the term is often employed in common usage along with "crazy", " insane", and "mentally ill", there is a categorical difference between psychosis and psychopathy. The term is also used by the general public, popular press, and in fictional portrayals. The study of psychopathy is an active field of research. Īlthough no psychiatric or psychological organization has sanctioned a diagnosis titled "psychopathy", assessments of psychopathic characteristics are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals. Hare later repopularized the construct of psychopathy in criminology with his Psychopathy Checklist.
The creation of ASPD and DPD was driven by the fact that many of the classic traits of psychopathy were impossible to measure objectively. The DSM and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) subsequently introduced the diagnoses of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and dissocial personality disorder (DPD) respectively, stating that these diagnoses have been referred to (or include what is referred to) as psychopathy or sociopathy.

Cleckley, an American psychiatrist, influenced the initial diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality reaction/disturbance in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM), as did American psychologist George E. Different conceptions of psychopathy have been used throughout history that are only partly overlapping and may sometimes be contradictory. Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits.
