N2  - Psychopathy has shown good construct validity in samples of Caucasian inmates. However, little is known about how well the nomological network surrounding psychopathy generalizes to non-Caucasian and nonincarcerated populations. Using longitudinal and concurrent data from the middle sample of the Pittsburgh Youth Study, this study demonstrates that the validity of total- and facet-level psychopathy is preserved in African American and nonincarcerated samples. Specifically, similar patterns of association were obtained for child variables (child psychopathy, socioeconomic status, risk status, parenting, delinquency, peer delinquency, and impulsivity) and adult variables (children, education, incarceration, unemployment, personality, substance use, and antisocial personality disorder) across ethnicity and conviction status.
