Abstract

Psychopaths have long been characterized as having a remarkable disregard for the truth, to the extent that deceit is often regarded as a defining characteristic of the syndrome (Porter and Woodworth 2006). Although the PCL-R is considered the general standard for evaluating psychopathy, self-report measures have become more widely available and researched. The current study evaluated the ability of jail detainees with moderate and high levels of psychopathy to successfully engage in Positive Impression Management (PIM) on three self-report measures (i.e., SRP-4, LSRP, and PPI–R). Overall, detainees were successfully able to mask their psychopathy, achieving average scores that are even lower than college and community samples. Predictably, detainees with higher levels of psychopathy were generally able to achieve larger decreases than others on psychopathy measures. To identify PIM, we investigated the PPI-R Virtuous Responding (VR) Scale and a modified Social Desirability–Psychopathy (SDP) index for the SRP-4. Overall, self-report measures of psychopathy evidence only modest convergence with the PCL-R and have proven to be highly susceptible to PIM.

Voetnoten
1
Craig Neumann (Personal communication on August, 2, 2011), an author of the SRP-4, reported that the SRP-III and SRP-4 have identical scales and items.
 
2
Bewsey (2013, p. 48), “It is critical to note that the magnitude of the correlations between SRP-4 and PCL: SV scores are strongly influenced by the extreme group approach where only high and low scorers on the SRP-4 were selected for administration of the PCL:SV.”
 
3
Unlike the PCL measures utilizing record reviews and clinical observations, these self-report measures are rely solely on the examinee’s answers for their interpretation.
 
4
The data for this study are entirely original. If detainees volunteered for a second study, the PCL-R data were shared with that study.
 
5
The informed consent has a Flesch-Kincaid reading grade level of 7.2.
 
6
The Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy scale (LSRP) is sometimes referred to the Levenson Primary and Secondary Psychopathy scale (LPSP) or the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (SRPS) across various studies.
 
7
The IM scale of the PDS was used as a partial manipulation check for PIM response pattern in the genuine condition.
 
8
Hare’s (2003, p. 31) original five psychopathy descriptors were “Very High, High, Moderate, Low, and Very Low.” For the purpose of this study, those groups were collapsed into three categories: High (i.e., combining the Very High and High), Moderate, and Low (combining the Low and Very Low).
 
9
By design, the low psychopathy (n =5, M =12.80, SD =3.77) is poorly represented.
 
10
As noted, two detainees were also excused prior to the beginning of the study.
 
11
The original plan, as considered further in the Concluding Thoughts, was to focus on concurrent validity with high correlations (e.g., rs ≥ 0.70) between nearly identical constructs. When that was not possible, we resorted to construct validity as the alternative.
 
12
The Ms and SDs are provided in Table 4 for the genuine condition.
 
13
Interestingly, it is similar to male offenders (i.e., the 43rd percentile).
 
14
We are using this term to underscore the nature of VR as a non-specific measure of PIM.
 
15
With an alpha of 0.65 and SD of 5.40, the SEM =3.19 (Kelsey 2014); when measurement errors are also calculated, the total percentage or error exceeds 50 %.
 
16
For VR, 30.2 % of the indeterminate group evidenced classification errors (Kelsey 2014).
 
17
In an effort to minimize the exclusion of offenders, the indeterminate group was defined as ± 0.5 SEM. With an SEM of 3.04, this criterion resulted in the removal of ±2 points as indeterminate.
 
18
A PsychInfo search on 7-30-14, of “psychopathy,” “forensic,” and “civil” yielded 20 empirical studies; however, most involved sex offenders.
