摘要:La mayoría de la literatura sobre la psicopatía gira en torno a su medida. Cuatro son los instrumentos y familias de referencia en la evaluación de la psicopatía: la Psychopathy Checklist (PCL), la Levenson’s Primary and Secondary Psychopathy Scales (LPSP), la Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (SRP), y el Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI). Ante este estado de la cuestión, nos planteamos llevar a cabo un metaanálisis psicométrico correlacional con el cual someter a prueba la validez convergente de estos instrumentos a nivel unidimensional y en los dos factores comunes a todos ellos: el factor afectivo y el factor antisocial. Los resultados mostraron una validez convergente positiva, significativa y generalizable entre los instrumentos, tanto en la dimensión psicopatía como en los factores afectivo y antisocial. Asimismo, los resultados pusieron de manifiesto que la PCL es el instrumento más idóneo para la evaluación de la psicopatía en poblaciones clínicas y el PPI en población subclínica.

The results showed a positivalidity between tools, in the psychopathy dimension, as well as in the affective and antisocial factors. Moreover, the results also showed that the PCL was the most appropriate tool to measure psychopathy in clinical samples, and the PPI was so in sub-clinical cases.ve, significant and generalisable convergent
