Abstract

Studies on the psychopathy construct are mostly limited to Western cultures, and there is a lack of research in this area in non-Western countries, specifically in Iran. The present study aimed to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity of the Persian version of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version (YPI-S) with a sample of 668 school-attending adolescents in Iran (46% girls; Mage = 16.35). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the proposed three-factor model. While the internal consistency of some YPI-S scores was unsatisfactory, the YPI-S scores showed the expected relations with external correlates (e.g., aggression, hyperactivity), supporting the validity of YPI-S scores. The authors' results supported the YPI-S for assessing psychopathic traits in Iranian adolescents. The modification of the YPI-S factor structure, the low factor loadings of some YPI-S items, and the inadequate internal consistency of some YPI-S dimensions indicate cultural influences on the assessment of cross-cultural traits.

波斯语版青年精神病特征量表-短版(YPI-S):一种心理测量评估。

关于精神病态结构的研究大多局限于西方文化，在非西方国家，特别是伊朗，这方面的研究缺乏。本研究旨在以伊朗668名在校青少年为样本，检验波斯语版《青少年精神病特征短版》(YPI-S)的因素结构、内部一致性和收敛效度。法师= 16.35)。验证性因子分析支持提出的三因素模型。虽然部分YPI-S评分的内部一致性不理想，但YPI-S评分与外部相关因素(如攻击性、多动)表现出预期的关系，支持了YPI-S评分的有效性。作者的结果支持YPI-S用于评估伊朗青少年的精神病特征。YPI-S因子结构的改变、部分项目因子负载量低、部分维度内部一致性不足，表明文化对跨文化特质的评估存在影响。

期刊介绍： The Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic offers a psychodynamic perspective on the application of theory and research in outpatient psychotherapy, attachment theory, developments in cognitive neuroscience and psychopathologies, as well as the integration of different modes of therapy. This widely indexed, peer-reviewed journal has been published since 1936 by the Menninger Clinic. Topical issues focus on critical subjects such as disordered attachments, panic disorder, trauma, and evidence-based interventions.
