Abstract

Recent models of psychopathy implicate Disinhibition vs. Constraint (DvC) as one of the primary underpinnings of psychopathic traits, although little research has examined associations between specific DvC components and psychopathy facets. The present study aimed to fill this gap by examining associations between psychopathy facets, as operationalized by two widely used self-report psychopathy instruments, and lower-order components of DvC within a racially diverse sample of 1,160 undergraduates. Path analyses confirmed the broad dimension of DvC as representing a general diathesis to psychopathy, with second-order components conferring more specific risks for particular psychopathy traits regardless of the model of psychopathy employed. Further, findings suggest that associations do not vary by race. Results suggest both generality and specificity of DvC dimensions as they relate to psychopathic traits, as well as potential avenues for further investigation of the associations between psychopathy and DvC.

For readers interested in bivariate correlations between PPI-R and Levenson psychopathy dimensions and the other UPPS-P scales, they are provided here. PPI-R FD was correlated with Negative Urgency (NU), Sensation Seeking (SS), and Positive Urgency (PU) at rs = −0.11 (p < 0.001), 0.53 (p < 0.001), and 0.03 (p > 0.30), respectively. PPI-R SCI was correlated with NU, SS, and PU at rs = 0.58, 0.18, and 0.61 (all ps < 0.001), respectively. PPI-R Coldheartedness was correlated with NU, SS, and PU at rs = 0.15, 0.13, 0.33 (all ps < 0.001), respectively. With regard to the Levenson scales, Primary Psychopathy was correlated with NU, SS, and PU at rs = 0.37, 0.10, and 0.51(all ps < 0.001), respectively. Lastly, Secondary Psychopathy was correlated with NU, SS, and PU at rs = 0.59 (p < 0.001), 0.04 (p > 0.20), and 0.54 (p < 0.001), respectively. These findings suggest that FD is selectively related to SS. In contrast, the other dimensions of PPI-R-assessed psychopathy are positively related to both dimensions of urgency, although the relations of Coldheartedness to these two dimensions were more modest. Additional information regarding UPPS-P scales is available from the first author.
