Insights from Initial and German Sample Data Deenz Psychopathy Spectrum Scale (DPSS-24) designed to measure psychopathy traits in adults, including impulsivity, emotional detachment, and social challenges

Deenz Psychopathy Spectrum Scale (DPSS-24) dataset includes responses from two groups of people: 21 participants from an initial test and 31 participants from Germany. The DPSS-24 is a 24-question survey designed to measure psychopathy traits in adults, including impulsivity, emotional detachment, and social challenges. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (low agreement) to 5 (high agreement), and higher total scores suggest stronger psychopathy traits. The purpose of this dataset is to test how well the DPSS-24 measures psychopathy traits and to check if it can be used in different cultural groups. By looking at data from two different groups, we aimed to see if the scale produces reliable and consistent results. Reliability: The DPSS-24 showed strong reliability, meaning the items work well together to measure similar traits. Patterns in Traits: The data showed similar patterns in both groups, suggesting the DPSS-24 captures relevant psychopathy traits across different samples. Cultural Consistency: The German sample’s responses were similar to the initial sample, showing that the DPSS-24 may work well across different cultures.
