精神病态是一种人格障碍，其特征是在情感和人际关系疏离的背景下出现冲动的反社会偏差行为。对精神病态人格量表（PPI）的分量表进行因素分析，得出了两个因素的证据。一个因素与外部标准的关系反映了精神病态的情感 - 人际关系方面的特征，包括高度支配性、低焦虑和冒险性。另一个因素与外部标准的关系则与精神病态的社会偏差方面类似，包括与反社会行为和药物滥用呈正相关，与社会经济地位和语言能力呈负相关，以及具有包括高度负面情绪和低行为约束在内的人格特征。研究结果支持使用PPI在社区样本中评估精神病态的这些方面，并探索它们的行为关联以及遗传 - 神经生物学基础。
Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by impulsive antisocial deviance in the context of emotional and interpersonal detachment. A factor analysis of the subscales of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI) yielded evidence for 2 factors. One factor showed relations with external criteria mirroring those of the emotional-interpersonal facet of psychopathy, including high dominance, low anxiety, and venturesomeness. The other factor showed relations paralleling those of the social deviance facet of psychopathy, including positive correlations with antisocial behavior and substance abuse, negative correlations with socioeconomic status and verbal ability, and personality characteristics including high negative emotionally and low behavioral constraint. Findings support using the PPI to assess these facets of psychopathy in community samples and to explore their behavioral correlates and genetic-neurobiological underpinnings.
