Examining psychopathic traits at the factor or facet level has revealed that various aspects of psychopathy may be differentially related, even in opposing directions, to important outcomes (e.g., intelligence, emotion regulation). Empirical work on relations between psychopathy and internalizing disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, has provided evidence for a positive association with antisocial traits. However, findings for the affective domain have been more equivocal. The current study (N = 732) sought to replicate past findings of the positive association of antisocial psychopathic traits with higher levels of PTSD and depressive symptoms, and to further explore associations between affective traits of psychopathy and these disorders using two measures of psychopathy. Results confirmed prior findings of a positive correlation between antisocial features and self-reported PTSD/Depression symptom severity, but they did not provide evidence for any association with affective traits. Future research using longitudinal designs is needed to begin establishing temporal ordering of the psychopathy-internalizing relationship.

在非临床样本中进一步评估精神病特征与 PTSD 和抑郁症状之间的关联。

在因素或方面检查精神病特征表明，精神病的各个方面可能与重要结果（例如，智力、情绪调节）存在不同的相关性，即使在相反的方向上也是如此。关于精神病与内化障碍（如创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 和抑郁症）之间关系的实证研究提供了与反社会特征正相关的证据。然而，情感领域的研究结果更加模棱两可。目前的研究 (N = 732) 试图复制过去反社会精神病特征与较高水平的 PTSD 和抑郁症状的正相关发现，并使用两种精神病措施进一步探索精神病的情感特征与这些疾病之间的关联。结果证实了先前关于反社会特征与自我报告的 PTSD/抑郁症状严重程度之间呈正相关的发现，但它们没有提供与情感特征有任何关联的证据。需要使用纵向设计进行未来研究，以开始建立精神病 - 内化关系的时间顺序。
