CONCEPTULIZATION
Traits of Psychopathic Personality Disorder: are heterogeneous are complex are ‘continuous’ not ‘categorical’ change overtime mimicked by other conditions differ in expression across gender, age & culture inherently contradict self-report in youth?
Psychopathy is a personality disorder.

ASSESSMENT & DIAGNOSIS
Structured Diagnostic Interview!• SCID-II (First et al., 1995)!• IPDE!
Self-Report Test!• MMPI-2/RF (Butcher et al., 1989; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008)!• PAI (Morey, 1991)!• PPI-R/SF (Lilenfeld & Widows, 2005; Lilienfeld, 2004)!• Tri-PM (Patrick, et al., 2010)!
Expert Rating Scale!• PCL-R (Hare, 1991)!• PCL:SV (Hart et al., 1995)!

SELF-REPORT OF PSYCHOPATHIC PERSONALITY
Some optimism for self-report in clinical test batteries!
Varying correlations among psychopathy measures!
Assessing for both traits and functional impairment!
Incorporating differential diagnoses!
Dissimulation in self-report assessment!

CONCLUSIONS: GLOBAL ANALYSIS
1. Total scores on both tests were correlated with total scores on the CAPP and moderately to highly correlated with all the CAPP domains.!
2. Total scores were also correlated negatively with CAPP Foils, indicating they are specifically associated to PPD.!
Alana N. Cook | SFU Psychology!
CONCLUSIONS: FINE GRAINED ANALYSIS
However, consistent with past research:!1. Total scores were more highly correlated with the
behavioral domains than any other CAPP domain!2. PPI Factor 1 and Boldness had different patterns of
correlations that the other domains. !
Self-report measures exhibited some important limitations
LIMITATIONS & FUTURE DIRECTIONS

• Undergraduates • Clinical samples
• Assumption that the CAPP is a valid model • Rationale and empirical basis
• Self report measures • Shared variance
