The Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version (PCL:SV) is often utilized in both community and forensic psychiatric settings for formulation, treatment assessments and risk assessment. Accordingly, it is essential to assess the psychometric properties of the PCL:SV. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize research examining the PCL:SV to determine the most appropriate factor structure, independent of other PCL measures. Using a PRISMA protocol, 2893 articles were screened, with 19 included for analysis. Consistent with research on other PCL measures, the results supported the use of three- and four-factor models of PCL:SV psychopathy in community and psychiatric populations, with more tentative support for the original two-factor structure. Findings associated with the PCL:SV latent factor structure were less clear for the studies sampling forensic, nonpsychiatric populations. The choice of which PCL:SV factor structure to adopt for clinical purposes remains dependent on the clinician’s theoretical perspectives of the psychopathy construct.

精神病检查表：筛查版本（PCL：SV）通常在社区和法医精神病学环境中用于制定，治疗评估和风险评估。因此，必须评估PCL：SV的心理测量特性。本系统综述的目的是综合研究PCL：SV的方法，以确定最合适的因子结构，而与其他PCL度量方法无关。使用PRISMA协议，筛选了2893篇文章，其中19篇进行了分析。与其他PCL措施的研究一致，结果支持在社区和精神病人群中使用PCL：SV精神病的三因素和四因素模型，并为原始的两因素结构提供了更多的初步支持。与PCL相关的发现：对于法医，非精神病人群的抽样研究，SV潜伏因子的结构尚不清楚。用于临床目的采用哪种PCL：SV因子结构的选择仍然取决于临床医生对精神病构造的理论观点。
