Method: A total of 345 participants aged between 18 and 40 years (M = 24.72, SD = 5.60) were recruited and completed the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) and the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSS). Results: Positive and significant correlations were found between the three psychopathy factors and the disinhibition subscale. Specifically, the interpersonal and behavioural factors were positively associated with disinhibition, whereas the affective factor showed a negative association. Gender differences were observed, with men scoring higher on the behavioural factor of psychopathy, disinhibition and sensation seeking.
