Examining the Role of Psychopathy-Related Traits in Predicting Sexual Objectification Perpetration

Potential predictors of sexual objectification perpetration related to psychopathic personality are examined in a community sample; exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of a modified, gender-neutral, Interpersonal Sexual Objectification – Perpetration scale are conducted. Taken together, our findings indicate that psychopathic traits are moderate to strong predictors of sexual objectification perpetration.
