| Popis: | The surging interest in corporate psychopathy has underscored the need for a reliable and valid measure of psychopathic features that is suitable for research in organizational settings. The B-Scan Self is a new self-report measure of corporate psychopathy that was developed with Hare's Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) as a framework. Validity studies, using two independent Mechanical Turk samples, were designed to examine its factor structure and validity. Results indicated that B-Scan Self facets were internally consistent and unidimentional and strongly related to another self-report measure of psychopathy (SRP-III). Confirmatory factor analyses supported a reliable fifteen facets and four-factor model consistent with the PCL-R four-factor model of psychopathy. Furthermore, B-Scan Self facets were positively correlated with the Dark Triad of personality traits and negatively correlated with FFM traits of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. More importantly, B-Scan Self facets presented the same pattern of correlations with FFM traits as the SRP-III and different patterns than the two other Dark Triad measures. Although this constitutes the first validation study of the B-Scan Self and more research is needed, we believe that these results are encouraging and that the B-Scan Self provides an opportunity to study psychopathic features through the measure of work-related behavior. |
