TL;DR: The hypothesis of restricted phenotypesic variation was supported for all five factors and 28 of the 30 facets when a Sardinian subsample matched on age, sex, and education was compared to a mainland Italian sample, and the genetic homogeneity effect on the phenotypic expression of complex traits merits further exploration.
Abstract: Potential founder population effects on personality trait means and variances were examined in a large, genetically homogeneous sample (N = 5,669) from the Ogliastra, an isolated region within Sardinia, Italy. The Italian version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory showed good psychometric properties: Internal consistency reliabilities ranged from 0.80 to 0.87; the factor structure replicated the American normative structure; and associations with education and gender replicated cross-cultural patterns. The hypothesis that mean trait levels in the Sardinian founder population would differ from mainland Italian values was not supported. Phenotypic variation in this founder population was within the range found in other cultures. However, the hypothesis of restricted phenotypic variation was supported for all five factors and 28 of the 30 facets when a Sardinian subsample matched on age, sex, and education was compared to a mainland Italian sample. The genetic homogeneity effect on the phenotypic expression of complex traits merits further exploration.

TL;DR: Results underscored the validity of the FFM Antisocial PD associations, but the hypothesized correlations between theFFM and Psychopathy were less supported, and supported the convergent validity ofThe ADP-IV and the VKP, both at the dimensional and categorical level.

TL;DR: Results demonstrated that Agreeableness was the strongest, most consistent correlate of the lower-order scales and three higher-order factors of the YPI, helping explain their intercorrelations.
Abstract: The present study investigated the relationship between the Five- Factor Model (FFM) and the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI; Andershed, Ker, Stattin, & Levander, 2002) in an undergraduate sample. It was hypothesized that Agreeableness would saturate the lower- and higher- order scales of the YPI, and that taking Agreeableness into account would reduce the intercorrelations among the three factors of the YPI. These hypotheses were explored in a sample of 466 undergraduates who completed the YPI and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO- PI- R; Costa & McCrae, 1992). Results demonstrated that Agreeableness was the strongest, most consistent correlate of the lowerorder scales and three higher- order factors of the YPI. Additionally, analyses showed that Agreeableness accounted for large portions of the three YPI factors, as well as the overlap among factors, helping explain their intercorrelations. Current results underscore the centrality of Agreeableness to the assessment and understanding of psychopathy, particularly as measured by the YPI. Most people comfort others in need, seek interaction with others to build relationships, and feel remorse for harming others or committing illegal acts. In contrast, psychopathic individuals rarely act in these ways. Instead, individuals with psychopathy are characterized by manipulativeness, egocentricity, superficial charm, impulsivity, unreliability, and a lack of remorse (Cleckley, 1941/1988; Hare, 2003). Given these characteristics, it is not surprising that psychopathy is robustly linked to antisocial behavior (Leistico, Salekin, DeCoster, & Rogers, 2008; Salekin, Rogers, & Sewell, 1996). Although research is increasing, there remains no proven or agreed upon treatment, intervention, or prevention of psychopathy, and some controversy remains in the field regarding the structure and scope of the disorder.

TL;DR: The findings support the need to assess subjects with mood disorders in the clinical setting for possible coexisting ADHD and to further investigate personality traits to better understand the etiology of affective disorders and ADHD co-occurrence.
Abstract: A significant comorbidity between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and affective disorders has been consistently reported in adults. Less data regarding the role of personality traits and the influence of ADHD co-occurrence on clinical characteristics and outcome of mood disorders are currently available. One hundred and six remitted major depressed, 102 euthymic bipolar subjects, and 120 healthy controls, homogeneous with respect to demographic characteristics, were included in the study. ADHD diagnosis was based on DSM-IV-TR criteria. Childhood and adult ADHD features were measured with the Wender Utah Rating Scale, the Adult ADHD Self-rating Scale, and the Brown Attention-Deficit Disorder Scale. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory was also administered to the clinical groups, in order to investigate personality dimensions. The occurrence of adult ADHD in subjects with bipolar disorders (BD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) was 15.7 and 7.5 %, respectively, compared to 3.3 % in healthy controls (HC). Significant associations (p < .001) between personality traits (neuroticism, conscientiousness, and extraversion) and ADHD features were observed. Logistic regression analysis of all clinical subjects (n = 208) showed that those with lower levels of neuroticism (OR = 1.031; p = .025) had a lower frequency of ADHD comorbidity. The present study emphasizes the close relationship between affective disorders, especially BD, and ADHD in adults. Our findings support the need to assess subjects with mood disorders in the clinical setting for possible coexisting ADHD and to further investigate personality traits to better understand the etiology of affective disorders and ADHD co-occurrence.
