对精神病院收治的两个罪犯样本的人格测试数据进行因素分析,得到两个较高顺序的因素,分别是精神病或反社会攻击性与从众,以及社交退缩与社交能力。护理人员还对一个样本的病房行为进行了评级,行为评级数据中也出现了类似的因素。精神变态的自我报告维度与入院时相应的评分维度显著相关,仅对于药物治疗的受试者,与两年后的评分显著相关。在入院时没有发现撤退维度的跨媒体趋同,但对于未接受药物治疗的受试者,最初的自我报告与2年后评估的同等评估维度显著相关。因此,这两个维度似乎可以衡量有意义的行为倾向。虽然它们定义了与神经质和内向--外向--相同的维度空间,但它们似乎为这类罪犯提供了一个更合适的分类框架。
Factor analyses of personality test data in two samples of offenders admitted to psychiatric security hospitals yielded two higher order factors identified as psychopathy or antisocial aggression versus conformity, and social withdrawal versus sociability. One sample was also rated for ward behaviour by nursing staff, and similar factors emerged from the behaviour rating data. The self-report dimension of psychopathy correlated significantly with the corresponding rating dimension at the time of admission and, for medicated subjects only, with ratings obtained 2 years later. Cross-media convergence of the withdrawal dimension was not found at the time of admission, but for unmedicated subjects, initial self-reports correlated significantly with the equivalent rating dimension as assessed 2 years later. The two dimensions therefore appear to measure meaningful behavioural dispositions. While they define the same dimensional space as neuroticism and introversion--extraversion, they appear to provide a more appropriate framework for classification within this population of offenders.
