What is A Prospective Comparison of Two Measures of Psychopathy in the Prediction of Institutional Misconduct about?
## Abstract This study examined the predictive validity of two widely used measures of psychopathic traits, the Psychopathy Checklist—Revised (PCL‐R; Hare, 2003) and the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI; Lilienfeld & Andrews, 1996). Records of institutional infractions were obtained for a young adult sample of prison inmates (__N__ = 46), who were followed for approximately two years following administration of these two scales. The PPI total and two factor scores predicted the total number of infractions committed (__r__ ranging from .28 to .36). PPI Factor I showed some evidence of stronger associations with non‐aggressive infractions (__r__ = .36), whereas PPI Factor II was the strongest correlate of aggressive misconduct (__r__ = .24). The total and facet scores of the PCL‐R were not significantly predictive of any form of institutional misconduct, with effect sizes ranging from negligible to small (median __r__ = .14, __r__ ranging from −.01 to .21).
