Abstract

Triarchic Model of Psychopathy validity was tested via correlations between its subscales (boldness, meanness, disinhibition) and deviant sexual fantasy frequency among undergraduates. Triarchic disinhibition was positively correlated with frequency of exploratory, impersonal, and sadomasochistic fantasies - suggesting a potential connection between this component of psychopathic traits and sexual deviance.
