1.1. Current study
The current study aimed to assess potential gender differences in
psychopathy subtypes based on Lykken (1995) and Karpman's (1941)
theories in a non-forensic sample. Using MBCA of PPI factors, anxiety,
BIS, and BAS, it was hypothesized that at least two clusters would
emerge in men and women. A primary psychopathy cluster was expected
to exhibit high F1, and low BIS and anxiety. A secondary psychopathy
cluster was expected to exhibit high F2, BAS, and anxiety.
