- The four facets of the Psychopathy Checklist, Youth Version and recidivism: A meta-analysisPublication . Braga, Teresa; Castro Rodrigues, Andreia de; Cruz, Ana Rita; Pechorro, Pedro; Cunha, OlgaThe present meta-analysis explored the predictive utility of the Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version at the facet level, namely the relation between the interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, and antisocial facets with violent and general recidivism. We included data from 12 manuscripts and 16 independent samples drawn exclusively from longitudinal study designs. Only the lifestyle and the antisocial facets were significantly related to both outcomes (General: rw = 0.15, p = .023 and rw = 0.22, p < .001, respectively. Violent: rw = 0.17, p = .003 and rw = 0.24, p < .001, respectively). Additional analyses from multivariate results revealed contrasting lower effect sizes (not exceeding rw = 0.05), which suggests the shared variance between the facets is more important for predicting recidivism than their independent effect. Finally, our moderation analyses showed that longer follow-ups resulted in lower predictive effects among some facets, suggesting the malleability of psychopathic traits in youth.
- Intra and extra-familial child sexual abuse: The role of psychopathyPublication . Sousa, Marta; Cunha, Olga; Gonçalves, Rui Abrunhosa; De Castro Rodrigues, AndreiaThe present study analyses the relationship between psychopathic traits, the four facets of psychopathy (i.e., interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, and antisocial), and the type of crime committed (i.e., intrafamilial and extrafamilial child sexual abuse; and nonsexual crimes). The Self-Report Psychopathy Scale – Short Form (SRP-SF) and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale – Short Form were completed by 110 male individuals who sexually offended minors (ISOMs) and 146 individuals convicted for nonsexual crimes. Four binary logistic regression analyses were conducted, controlling for sociodemographic, criminal, and individual variables. ISOMs are less likely to score high in the SRP-SF total score and the interpersonal facet and more likely to score high in the affective facet than individuals with nonsexual crimes. Besides, ISOMs are less likely to have a prior history of alcohol and drug abuse and to have previous contact with the justice system but are more likely to have a history of psychological problems. Therefore, only the prior alcohol and drug abuse history emerged as predictors for ISOMs subtypes. According to our results, psychopathic traits should not be considered in the assessment and intervention of ISOMs, and the focus of the intervention should be on the affective dimension and the level of psychopathology
