Comparison of Procedures for the Assessment of Psychopathy.

Hare, Robert D.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v53 n1 p7-16 Feb 1985

Compared several clinical-behavioral and self-report measures of psychopathy in a sample of 274 male prison inmates. Found much stronger agreement among the clinical-behavioral measures (ratings, checklist, and DSM-III) than among the self-report measures. Agreement between these two measurement domains was, with few exceptions, rather poor. (BH)
