Abstract
We investigated impulsivity facets unique to primary and secondary psychopathy within an undergraduate sample (N = 1173, Mage = 18.65, 82% women). Impulsivity facet scores were compared across psychopathy latent profiles. Across gender, results suggest sensation-seeking distinguishes primary from secondary psychopathy, and positive urgency distinguishes secondary psychopathy from broader dysregulation.
