作者采用基于模型的聚类分析方法，根据人格结构的差异来识别犯罪精神变态者的亚型。参与者包括96名被诊断为精神变态的男性囚犯，使用修订的精神变态检查表（PCL-R; r.d. Hare, 1991）。人格评估采用多维人格问卷（MPQ-BF； C. J. Patrick， J. J. Curtin, & A. Tellegen, 2002）。最佳拟合模型产生了两个聚类。情绪稳定型精神病患者具有低应激反应和高能动性的特征。侵略性精神病患者具有高负性情绪、低约束和低共融的特征。这些结果表明，PCL-R定义的精神病患者包括不同的亚型，在人格结构方面可区分，这可能反映了不同的病因。
The authors used model-based cluster analysis to identify subtypes of criminal psychopaths on the basis of differences in personality structure. Participants included 96 male prisoners diagnosed as psychopathic, using the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R; R. D. Hare, 1991). Personality was assessed using the brief form of the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ-BF; C. J. Patrick, J. J. Curtin, & A. Tellegen, 2002). The best-fitting model yielded two clusters. Emotionally stable psychopaths were characterized by low Stress Reaction and high Agency. Aggressive psychopaths were characterized by high Negative Emotionality, low Constraint, and low Communion. These results suggest that psychopaths as defined by the PCL-R includes distinct subtypes, distinguishable in terms of personality structure, that may reflect different etiologies.
