精神病态人格特质与外化行为呈正相关，与内化行为呈负相关。然而，精神病的不同方面（大胆、卑鄙、去抑制）在解释跨性别的外化和内化行为方面的贡献是不一致的。在这项研究中，我们对来自德国大学的 822 名学生（586 名女性，236 名男性；M 年龄 = 22.27）探讨了精神变态人格特征、特质焦虑、社交焦虑、抑郁、心理健康和攻击行为的评估以及之间关系的性别差异。使用结构方程模型，我们发现攻击行为与精神病态的所有三个方面之间存在正相关关系，内化行为与去抑制之间存在正相关关系，内化行为与大胆之间存在显着负相关关系。尽管这些变量的绝对水平存在性别差异，但变量之间关系的总体模式在不同性别之间是一致的。这表明不同性别的症状水平差异不能通过早期发展的人格特征（如精神病）的变化来解释。
Psychopathic personality traits are positively associated with externalising behaviours, and negatively associated with internalising behaviours. However, the contribution of different facets of psychopathy (boldness, meanness, disinhibition) in explaining externalising and internalising behaviours across genders are inconsistent. In this study, we explored gender differences in the assessment of, and relationships between, psychopathic personality traits, trait anxiety, social anxiety, depression, mental health, and aggressive behaviour in 822 students from a German University (586 women, 236 men; M-age = 22.27). Using a structural equation model, we found a positive relationship between aggressive behaviour and all three facets of psychopathy, a positive relationship between internalising behaviours and disinhibition, and a significant negative relationship between internalising behaviours and boldness. Despite gender differences in absolute levels of these variables, the overall pattern of the relationships between variables was consistent across genders. This indicates that symptom level differences across gender cannot be accounted for by variation in early developing personality traits like psychopathy.
