Abstract
The Triarchic Model of Psychopathy (TriPM) is posited to capture psychopathy using three domains: Boldness, Meanness, and Disinhibition. Previous work has generally not supported three-factors as the ideal structure of the TriPM. Using a factor analytic approach, we find the optimal factor structure to consist of six factors.
