Psychopathy ratings were based on standardized PCL:SV clinical interviews translated into Bulgarian. Assessments with the PCL:SV were conducted by a trained team of research assistants and clinicians at the Bulgarian Addictions Institute. Initial training in psychopathy assessment was provided by JV, who created the authorized version of the Bulgarian PCL-R with its publisher Multi-Health Systems. Training and supervision was further provided by GV, who had participated in formal training workshops led by Dr. Robert Hare. The two trainers have substantial experience with the use of the PCL-R and PCL:SV and with the construct of psychopathy. Training consisted of didactic sessions, case examples, and discussions. Initial ratings of study participants were conducted by pairs of team members, followed by a discussion of item scoring and total scores. Difficult or unusual assessments and instances of discordant ratings between pair members were discussed with supervisors during weekly team meetings.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
