Overview

Overview

The Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) assessment helps identify potential patterns of cheating, fighting, bullying, and other antisocial acts in youths. Early identification of these traits is critical, not only for the near future of these individuals, but for their development into adulthood.

  • Can be used to help you understand the factors that contribute to the development of adult antisocial behavior and psychopathy
  • Uses an expert-rater format that emphasizes the need for multidomain and multisource information
  • Adapted from the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R)
  • Measures interpersonal, affective, and behavioral features related to a widely understood, traditional concept of psychopathy
  • Yields dimensional scores for clinical purposes, but it can also be used to classify individuals into groups for research purposes

PCL:YV Interview Guide

The PCL:YV Interview Guide was developed to assist in the conduction of a semi-structured interview to elicit information needed to make the PCL:YV ratings

 

PCL:YV QuikScore Form

The clinician-completed QuikScore form is easy to complete and is easily be transferred to the Scoring Grid.

The PCL:YV is a clinician-rated instrument that uses a structured interview and collateral information to assess psychopathic traits in youth. The Interview Guide outlines questions for the structured interview. The clinician rates items on a scale of 0 to 2 (Yes, No, and Maybe) indicating whether or not the statement is true of the individual. Ratings should be made while reviewing the criteria provided in the PCL:YV Rating Booklet or the PCL:YV Technical Manual.

Reliability and Validity

The Hare PCL:YV has proven through numerous studies to be strong in scientific validity. The studies include the evaluation of the concurrent validity of the Hare PCL:YV with respect to other measures of psychopathy and with respect to Conduct Disorder (CD). Also included is the review of convergent and discriminant validity of the Hare PCL:YV by examining the relationship between Hare PCL:YV Total scores and a variety of constructs that have proven to be related to psychopathy or independent of psychopathy in adult samples. Predictive validity of the Hare PCL:YV was also evaluated, in regard to the domains of recidivism and treatment outcome.

The normative data for the Hare PCL:YV consists of 2,438 youth located in Canada, United Kingdom, and United States. Nineteen different adolescent samples were collected and included offenders that were institutionalized, on probation, in open custody, referred for outpatient evaluation, and youth in the community.
