Abstract: Systematic investigations into the interplay of sociodemographic factors in the relations of psychopathic traits to criminal behaviors, criminogenic, and treatment-related factors are underdeveloped, particularly concerning the triarchic conceptualization of psychopathy (Patrick, Fowles, & Krueger, 2009). The current study examined the potential moderating roles played by sociodemographic factors within the triarchic psychopathy framework in relation to criminal history and pertinent external correlates. Broadly, we anticipated stronger relations between psychopathic traits and external correlates for European-Americans compared with African-Americans, at lower levels of SES, and for males.
