Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The triarchic model of psychopathy proposes three main components of psychopathy: boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. Self-report measures of psychopathy typically assess these three dimensions. Choice A is incorrect as "fearless dominance" is another term for boldness in the triarchic model, and self-centered impulsivity and coldheartedness are not included as main components. Choice B is incorrect as "callous affect" is part of meanness, but erratic lifestyle and interpersonal manipulation are not main components in the triarchic model. Choice D is incorrect as criminal tendencies and empathy reduction are not main components in the triarchic model, and impulsivity is part of disinhibition. Choice E is incorrect as deficient emotions and deceitful interpersonal style are aspects of meanness, but antisocial attitudes are not a main component in the triarchic model.
