项目反应理论被用来研究精神病检查表修订版（PCL-R; R。D. Hare，1991，2003）在几个罪犯群体中。以男性刑事犯罪者（N = 3，847）为参照组，对3个对照组进行了差异项目功能分析：女性刑事犯罪者（N = 1，219），男性法医精神病患者（N = 1，246）和男性刑事犯罪者（N = 2，626）。结果进行了讨论的背景下，2因素，4方面的模型PCL-R（R。D. Hare，2003; J.帕克，G. Sitarenios，& R. D. Hare，2003）。应用多组分级反应模型的所有4组表明标量等效可能至少持有约为每个人口，虽然PCL-R提供了更多的信息，从标准程序评分的男性刑事罪犯的精神病的潜在特征。
Item response theory was used to investigate the functioning of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; R. D. Hare, 1991, 2003)in several offender populations. With male criminal offenders (N = 3,847) as a reference group, differential item functioning analyses were performed for 3 comparison groups: female criminal offenders (N = 1,219), male forensic psychiatric patients (N = 1,246), and male criminal offenders scored from file reviews (N = 2,626). Results are discussed in the context of the 2-factor, 4-facet model for the PCL-R (R. D. Hare, 2003; J. Parker, G. Sitarenios, & R. D. Hare, 2003). Application of a multigroup graded response model to all 4 groups suggests scalar equivalence may hold at least approximately for each population, although the PCL-R provided slightly greater information about the latent trait of psychopathy for male criminal offenders scored from the standard procedure.
