The PCL-R (Psychopathy Checklist-Revised) is a psychological assessment tool used to evaluate the presence of psychopathy in individuals. Studies have shown that individuals with high scores on the PCL-R, indicating a higher level of psychopathic traits, are significantly more likely to engage in aggressive and violent behavior, including getting into fights. This is consistent with the understanding that psychopathy involves traits such as impulsivity, aggression, and a lack of empathy, which can contribute to a higher propensity for violent confrontations.
