The construct validity of the triarchic psychopathy model has yet to be evaluated in the Swedish forensic psychiatric context. We examined associations between the three phenotypic constructs of the triarchic model of psychopathy (i.e., boldness, meanness, disinhibition), self-assessed empathy and anxiety, and clinical variables in 91 individuals undergoing pretrial forensic psychiatric evaluation in Sweden. Participants completed the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM) and self-report measures of empathy and anxiety. Clinical variables, including psychiatric diagnoses and criminal behavior, were collected from the forensic psychiatric evaluations (FPE). All three subscales of the TriPM displayed significant and predominantly anticipated correlations with empathy and trait anxiety measures. TriPM Disinhibition was the only subscale with significant associations with the clinical variables collected from the FPEs. The results provide evidence for the reliability and construct validity of the Swedish translation of the TriPM in a pretrial forensic setting.

瑞典法院下令的法医样本中的精神病特征：大胆、卑鄙和去抑制的偏好关联。

三元精神病模型的结构有效性尚未在瑞典法医精神病学背景下进行评估。我们在瑞典接受审前法医精神病学评估的 91 名个体中，研究了精神病三元模型的三种表型结构（即大胆、卑鄙、去抑制）、自我评估的同理心和焦虑以及临床变量之间的关联。参与者完成了三元精神病测量（TriPM）以及同理心和焦虑的自我报告测量。临床变量，包括精神病学诊断和犯罪行为，是从法医精神病学评估（FPE）中收集的。TriPM 的所有三个分量表均与同理心和特质焦虑测量值显示出显着且主要预期的相关性。TriPM 去抑制是唯一与从 FPE 收集的临床变量具有显着相关性的子量表。结果为 TriPM 瑞典语翻译在审前法证环境中的可靠性和结构有效性提供了证据。
