This study examined the Persian version of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version (YPI-S) among 668 school-attending adolescents in Iran and found support for the validity of the test. However, it also revealed some cultural influences on the assessment of psychopathic traits.
Studies on the psychopathy construct are mostly limited to Western cultures, and there is a lack of research in this area in non-Western countries, specifically in Iran. The present study aimed to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity of the Persian version of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Short Version (YPI-S) with a sample of 668 school-attending adolescents in Iran (46% girls; M-age = 16.35). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the proposed three-factor model. While the internal consistency of some Y PI-S scores was unsatisfactory, the YPI-S scores showed the expected relations with external correlates (e.g., aggression, hyperactivity), supporting the validity of YPI-S scores. The authors' results supported the Y PI-S for assessing psychopathic traits in Iranian adolescents. The modification of the YPI-S factor structure, the low factor loadings of some YPI-S items, and the inadequate internal consistency of some YPI-S dimensions indicate cultural influences on the assessment of cross-cultural traits.
