Which is a facet of Factor 2 in psychopathy?

• A. Interpersonal
• B. Affective
• C. Lifestyle
• D. Antisocial

Answer: (C)

Factor 2 reflects a deviant lifestyle and pattern of antisocial behavior. Within Factor 2, there are two facets: Lifestyle and Antisocial. The Lifestyle facet specifically captures how a person organizes their life in a restless, impulsive, and unstable way—traits like need for stimulation, irresponsibility, lack of long-term goals, and an overall parasitic or unstable lifestyle. This focus on daily functioning and behavioral patterns that undermine a stable life is what makes Lifestyle a facet of Factor 2. In contrast, Factor 1 covers interpersonal manipulation and shallow or lack of affect, which is why those areas don’t fit Factor 2.
