ABSTRACT Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is the gold standard for assessing psychopathy. However, its factorial structure has been subject of debate, and different factor models have been proposed. Furthermore, research has not focused on the PCL-R factorial structure among intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators. We analyzed and compared the fit of nine alternative models of PCL-R among a sample of 242 IPV perpetrators. Results revealed PCL-R has adequate factor validity. The three-factor model without testlets provided the best fit to the current data. The three-factor model also showed good reliability, and the factors established differential associations to penal and personal variables thus revealing discriminant validity. In the current study, psychopathy was thus best conceptualized as a clinical construct comprising a particular affective functioning (e.g., shallow affect, lack of empathy), and a specific interpersonal (e.g., egocentricity, deception) and behavioral style (e.g., irresponsibility, impulsivity) among IPV perpetrators.

亲密伴侣暴力的男性施行者的心理疾病检查表修订（PCL-R）因子结构

摘要精神病检查表修订版（PCL-R）是评估精神病的黄金标准。然而，其阶乘结构一直是争论的话题，并且已经提出了不同的因子模型。此外，研究还没有关注亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）犯罪者中的PCL-R析因结构。我们在242名IPV犯罪者样本中分析并比较了9种PCL-R替代模型的拟合度。结果显示PCL-R具有足够的因子有效性。不带睾丸的三因素模型为当前数据提供了最佳拟合。三因素模型也显示出良好的可靠性，并且这些因素建立了与刑罚和个人变量的微分关联，从而揭示了判别效度。在目前的研究中
