Male sub-threshold psychopathic traits and couple distress
نویسندگان
چکیده
Drawing on a representative sample of 152 couples, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the cross-lagged relationships between sub-threshold psychopathic traits in men and couple distress in both men and women over a twelve-month period. Path analyses showed that couple distress in men was related to an exacerbation of their primary psychopathic traits. There was a bidirectional relation between both global and secondary psychopathy in men and their dyadic adjustment. Couple distress in women also predicted an aggravation of secondary psychopathic traits in men. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
