Factor 2 of psychopathy corresponds to which domain?

• A. Factor 1: interpersonal/affective
• B. Factor 2: social deviance
• C. Factor 2: antisocial
• D. Factor 1: affective

Answer: (B)

Factor 2 maps onto patterns of antisocial behavior and lifestyle—that is, social deviance. In the two-factor model of psychopathy, Factor 1 covers interpersonal and affective traits (such as charm, manipulation, and lack of remorse), while Factor 2 captures the behavioral, lifestyle, and antisocial aspects (impulsivity, irresponsibility, need for stimulation, criminal history, etc.). So the domain described by Factor 2 is social deviance, reflecting persistent rule-breaking and deviant behavior rather than the characteristic interpersonal/affective traits of Factor 1.
