The Hare Psychopathy Checklist

The Hare Psychopathy Checklist, developed by Dr. Robert Hare, is a psychological tool used to assess traits associated with psychopathy. It consists of 20 criteria, including characteristics like superficial charm, lack of empathy, impulsivity, and manipulativeness. Each trait is scored, allowing clinicians to evaluate an individual's personality and behavior. It's commonly used in forensic psychology to help determine risk factors for criminal behavior and is important for understanding both mental health and criminal justice contexts. Overall, it provides insight into individuals who may lack moral reasoning and emotional depth.
