ABSTRACT

Introduction: the psychopathy checklist- revised (pcl-r) is the “gold standart” instrument to evaluate the psychopathy. Several studies have been investigating the relationship between personality traits measured with standardized instruments and psychopathy.
Objective: the objectives of this study was based on identifying if the pcl-r and its models of two factors and four facets can be related to instruments that evaluate personality traits related to the psychopathy.
Methods: the sample was compound by 124 male inmates sanctioned for committing violent crimes. Pearson correlation was applied to examine the association between the pcl-r and all the self-report instruments used in this study.
Results: the results provide further evidence of the relative independence of the factors: behavioral lifestyle facet was the most correlated and thrill and adventure seeking and experience seeking from the sensation-seeking scale were the less correlated.
Conclusions: this research confirms that the pcl-r two factors model and four-facet model can be validated with external scales and their clinical relevance will be based on the fact, that each factor or facet has distinguishing characteristic traits.
