本研究旨在探讨青少年精神病特质量表（YPI）与临床医师评定的精神病量表（PCL：YV）之间的关系。92名女孩和70名男孩，12至20岁（平均年龄，17岁），谁收到的服务，在一个诊所的青少年药物滥用问题，进行了研究的代表性样本。中度相关性（r =30-.51），发现在概念上对应的YPI和PCL：YV因子得分之间的男孩和女孩，而个别分量表的YPI和项目的PCL：YV之间的相关性并不一致。基于这两种工具的三因素模型的分组的交叉表格在很大程度上支持YPI的分类收敛效度，特别是对于低得分者和高分者。虽然需要更多的研究，更大的样本，结果表明，YPI是一个具有成本效益的措施，在研究环境中的青少年精神病特征。
This study investigates the relationship between the self-report Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI) and the clinician-rated Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV). A representative sample of 92 girls and 70 boys, 12 to 20 years of age (mean age, 17 years), who received services at a clinic for adolescents with substance misuse problems, was studied. Moderate correlations (r =30-.51) were found between conceptually corresponding YPI and PCL: YV factor scores among both boys and girls, whereas correlations between individual subscales of the YPI and items of the PCL: YV were not as consistent. A cross-tabulation of groupings based on the three-factor models of the two instruments largely supported the categorical convergent validity of the YPI, particularly for low and high scorers. Although more studies with larger samples are needed, results indicate that the YPI is a cost-effective measure of psychopathic traits in adolescents in research settings.
