[The facets of psychopathy described by the hare psychopathy checklist revised and its reliability].
BACKGROUND
The second edition of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (Hare 2003) describes facets that allow a more accurate measure of interpersonal, affective, lifestyle and antisocial aspects.


OBJECTIVE
The aim of this research is to assess the reliability of the Argentinean version of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist Revised on a penitentiary population, taking into consideration the new factor and facet structure.


METHODS
Thirty four subjects were simultaneously assessed by two raters yielding two independent scores.


RESULTS
The results show that the Argentinean version of the scale with its new structure has an excellent interrater reliability and internal consistency (Crombach's Alpha was 0.99 for total score; 0.98 for Factor 1 and 0.99 for Factor 2; the single measure of the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.99; 0.97 y 0.97 respectively).
