Shame coping styles and psychopathic personality traits.

The convergent validity of the primary and secondary psychopathy scales of the Levenson, Kiehl, and Fitzpatrick (1995) Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (SRPS) were investigated by contrasting correlations between the two SRPS scales and self-report adaptive and maladaptive shame coping scales. The results, from a sample of 305 undergraduates, supported the convergent validity of the SRPS primary (selfish, uncaring, manipulative interpersonal style) and secondary (impulsivity and self-defeating behavior) scales; both possessed small but significant negative relationships with adaptive shame coping and small but significant positive relationships with externalizing shame coping. An opposing pattern of convergent validity was evidenced by partial correlations (controlling for SPRS scale covariance) that indicated the SRPS primary scale had a negative relationship and the secondary scale had a positive relationship to internalizing shame coping.

[Clinical basis for a differentiated approach to psychopathic personality adaptation].

In the process of compensation of psychopathy there is a complex reformation of its structure due to the development of secondary compensatory personality changes on the background of primary pathocharacteriological personality traits. However, each form of psychopathy maintains its specific clinical symptoms which should be taken into consideration in a goal-directed formation of conditions, facilitating an adaptation of such patients. Consideration of specific traits in the structure of psychopathy and the reaction of patients to different factors allows one to select conditions where the requirements to the "weak" side of the personality would be reduced, while its relatively "strong" sides were applied productively.
