Abstract

The unique prediction of COVID-19 prevention behavior and reasons for engaging in such behavior by different psychopathic traits were examined using aggregated data from two direct replication studies (N = 291). Psychopathic traits reflecting callousness and impulsivity were negatively associated with other-focused reasons for engaging in COVID-19 prevention behavior.
