Gender Differences in Characteristics Associated with Psychopathy Subtypes

Edie Ye

Research on subtypes of psychopathy (e.g., low vs. high anxiety presentations) is based primarily on men. Using a dimensional conceptualization of psychopathic personality characteristics, the current study is designed to examine whether observed differences in subtypes of psychopathic men generalize to women. Gender differences in the associations between psychopathy subtypes and anxiety, aggression, alcohol use, and impulsivity will be examined among 434 undergraduate students (86% women) using regression-based analyses.
