Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-Fourth Edition™
Filters
Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-Fourth Edition™ (SRP 4™) is the first official self-report version of the gold standard Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised™ (PCL-R™). This unique tool contains 64 items that can be used to help identify psychopathic behaviors across the same factor structure found in the entire PCL family of scales. The SRP 4 also offers a Short Form (29 items) for use in settings where the administration of the full assessment may not be feasible or possible. The provision of community, college, and justice-involved individual samples to provide context for scores makes the SRP 4 an invaluable tool for use in psychopathy research or to identify individuals who may require further assessment and treatment..
- The SRP 4 demonstrates the established four-factor structure of psychopathy (e.g., Hare, 2003; see Figure 1).
- Over 150 studies, spanning nearly 30 years, have examined its use (bibliography available in the SRP 4 Technical Manual).
- It has three large reference samples (Community, College, and justice-involved individual)
- It has been validated in both forensic and nonforensic samples.
- It has been confirmed by dozens of independent research groups.

SRP 4™ Full length (64 item QuikScore™)
This form is used to record ratings for an individual each of the 64 SRP 4 items. The QuikScore™ Form automatically transfers the rating to a scoring grid. Scores can then easily be obtained and converted into T-scores.
SRP 4: Short Form™ (29 item QuikScore™)
The SRP 4 offers a Short Form for use in settings where the administration of the full assessment may not be feasible or possible. This form is used to record ratings from an individual for each of the 29 SRP 4 items. The QuikScore™ Form automatically transfers the ratings to a scoring grid. Scores can then easily be obtained and converted into T-scores.
With over 150 studies examining the reliability and validity of the SRP, it is one of the most well-researched self-report psychopathy measures on the market. The SRP 4 has strong internal consistency and a high degree of test-retest reliability. Tested in both forensic and non-forensic samples, the SRP 4 demonstrates exceptional validity.
The SRP 4™ has the largest sample of any self-report psychopathy instrument. The SRP 4 includes three specific North American reference samples:
- Community (N=638)
- College (N=788)
- and justice-involved individual (N=304)
Each sample represents a group of individuals who are of particular interest to psychopathy researchers, especially those who study psychopathy via self-report.
