The Hare Psychopathy Checklist, developed by Dr. Robert Hare, is a psychological assessment tool used to identify traits associated with psychopathy. It consists of 20 items that evaluate personality characteristics and behaviors, such as lack of empathy, manipulativeness, and impulsivity. Each item is scored on a scale, helping professionals determine the presence and severity of psychopathic traits in individuals. This checklist is widely used in forensic psychology and criminal justice settings to assess offenders. It aids in understanding the risk of reoffending and informs treatment decisions. The Hare Psychopathy Checklist is considered a reliable measure for identifying psychopathy in various populations.
