The triarchic model of psychopathy emphasizes the role of three phenotypic personality domains (boldness, meanness, and disinhibition) that have been operationalized using the well-established Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire. The present study sought to further validate the MPQ-Tri scales and examine their temporal stability and predictive validity across two time points (ages 18 and 26) from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a population-representative and longitudinal sample (N = 1,037). This investigation necessitated modification of the MPQ-Tri scales to enable their use in a broader range of samples, including the Dunedin Study. The revised MPQ-Tri scales demonstrated good temporal stability, and correlation and multiple linear regression analyses predominantly revealed associations consistent with theoretical expectations. Overall, the findings provide support for the MPQ-Tri scales as reliable, stable, and valid measures of the triarchic constructs, which provide a unique opportunity to examine highly novel research questions concerning psychopathy in a wide variety of samples.

使用多维人格问卷在达尼丁多学科健康与发展研究中构建三元模型特征的有效性。

精神病的三元模型强调三个表型人格领域（大胆、卑鄙和去抑制）的作用，这些领域已经使用完善的多维人格问卷进行了操作。本研究试图进一步验证 MPQ-Tri 量表，并检查它们在达尼丁多学科健康与发展研究的两个时间点（18 岁和 26 岁）的时间稳定性和预测有效性，这是一个人口代表性和纵向样本（N = 1,037 ). 该调查需要修改 MPQ-Tri 量表，以使其能够用于更广泛的样本，包括但尼丁研究。修订后的 MPQ-Tri 量表表现出良好的时间稳定性，相关性和多元线性回归分析主要揭示了与理论预期一致的关联。总的来说，这些发现支持 MPQ-Tri 量表作为三元结构的可靠、稳定和有效的测量，这提供了一个独特的机会来检查各种样本中有关精神病的高度新颖的研究问题。
