Psychopathy, the PCL-R, and criminal justice: Some new findings and current issues. (2016, background): “Skeem and Cooke (2010) also are mistaken in terms of their claim that my colleagues and I consider criminality to be essential to the psychopathy construct.”
Psychopathy in the workplace: The knowns and unknowns (2013, background): “In addition, because the PCL-R contains a number of items assessing explicitly antisocial behaviors, it may be weighted towards detecting the largely unsuccessful manifestations of business psychopathy (see Skeem & Cooke, 2010; but see Hare & Neumann, 2010, for a different view).”
The Malevolent Side of Human Nature (2017, background): “Therefore, the correlations between psychopathy and externalizing outcomes such as aggression and delinquency are almost self-evident (e.g., Skeem & Cooke, 2010), and it may well be that this type of criterion contamination gives psychopathy the advantage of being the most robust correlate of…”
Successful Psychopaths: Are They Unethical Decision-Makers and Why? (2012, background): “Although the debate on the inclusion of the antisocial component continues ( Skeem and Cooke 2010; also see Blackburn 2007), it remains largely outside the scope of the current study.”
Psychopathy, reactive aggression, and precarious proclamations: A review of behavioral, cognitive, and biological research. (2011, methodology): “Despite these early theorists' proclamations, most studies have focused on forensic populations, fueling recent debate over the centrality of criminal behavior to the construct of psychopathy (Cooke & Michie, 2001; Hare & Neumann, 2010; Skeem & Cooke, 2010a, 2010b).”
Introduction and validation of Psychopathic Personality Traits Scale (PPTS) in a large prison sample (2016, background): “…activities (e.g., Boduszek & Debowska, 2016; Boduszek et al., 2015; Cooke & Michie, 2001; DeLisi, 2009; McCuish et al., 2015; McCuish, Corrado, Lussier, & Hart, 2014; Skeem & Cooke, 2010a, b), items were cast to reflect knowledge/skills and attitudes/beliefs rather than behaviour.”
Explicating the Construct of Psychopathy: Development and Validation of a Conceptual Model, the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP) (2012, background): “For further discussion of this issue, see Blackburn (1992) and Skeem and Cooke (2010).”
