精神病的结构被认为是由独特但相关的情感人际和社会越轨方面。在这里，我们研究了这些方面的黑尔的精神病检查表修订版（PCL-R）在其与成人精神病理学的外化维度，定义为共同因素的基础症状的行为障碍，成人反社会行为，酒精使用/滥用，药物滥用，沿着与去抑制人格特质。相关性分析显示，这种外化的维度和精神病的社会越轨方面（r = 0.84）之间有很强的关系，与情感-人际成分（r = 0.44）的关系较小。控制PCL-R因素之间的中度重叠的结构模型显示，extemalizing实质上与精神病的社会偏差特征的独特方差相关，但与情绪和人际特征的独特方差无关，无论是一起建模还是作为单独的因素。这些结果表明，PCL-R的社会偏差因素反映了精神病理学的外化维度，而情感-人际成分则与外化不同。此外，基于我们发现的PCL-R社会偏差和外部化之间的关联，我们能够预测这方面的精神病和标准变量之间的新关系，包括尼古丁的使用和赌博，以前已经与外部化。对未来的研究精神病的原因和相关因素的影响进行了讨论。
The construct of psychopathy is viewed as comprising distinctive but correlated affective-interpersonal and social deviance facets. Here, we examined these facets of Hare's Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) in terms of their associations with the externalizing dimension of adult psychopathology, defined as the common factor underlying symptoms of conduct disorder, adult antisocial behavior, alcohol use/abuse, and drug abuse, along with disinhibitory personality traits. Correlational analyses revealed a strong relationship between this extemalizing dimension and the social deviance facet of psychopathy (r = .84), and a lesser relationship with the emotional-interpersonal component (r = .44). Structural models controlling for the moderate overlap between the PCL-R factors revealed that extemalizing was substantially related to the unique variance in the social deviance features of psychopathy, but unrelated to the unique variance of the emotional and interpersonal features whether modeled together or as separate factors. These results indicate that the social deviance factor of the PCL-R reflects the externalizing dimension of psychopathology, whereas the emotional-interpersonal component taps something distinct aside from externalizing. In addition, based on our finding of an association between PCL-R social deviance and extemalizing, we were able to predict new relations between this facet of psychopathy and criterion variables, including nicotine use and gambling, that have previously been linked to externalizing. Implications for future research on the causes and correlates of psychopathy are discussed.
