The dataset consists of responses from 21 participants sampled from the German population who completed the <a href="https://drdeenz.com/psychopathy-spectrum-test/">Deenz Psychopathy Spectrum Scale</a> (DPSS-24). This dataset captures scores across 24 items that measure varying degrees of psychopathic traits, including emotional detachment, impulsivity, manipulativeness, and empathy levels. Each participant rated their agreement or frequency on a Likert scale, providing a nuanced view of psychopathic traits across different individuals in this sample.

Dataset Details:
Population: German
Sample Size: 21 participants
Scale: DPSS-24, measuring psychopathy on a spectrum rather than a binary trait.
Variables Included:
Participant ID: Unique identifier for each participant.
DPSS-24 Item Scores: 24 items scored on a Likert scale, reflecting the participant's responses to each psychopathy-related statement.
Total DPSS-24 Score: A calculated score representing the overall psychopathy trait level for each participant, derived by summing or averaging item scores.
Demographic Variables (if available): Age, gender, education level, and any other relevant demographic information gathered for further analysis.
Purpose and Applications:
This dataset is designed for use in psychopathy and personality trait research, specifically focusing on how psychopathic traits present within a sample of the German population. Researchers can analyze the data to examine patterns, correlations with demographic variables, and comparisons to broader or clinical populations. The data can also support studies investigating the cultural or population-specific presentation of psychopathic traits, enhancing both local and cross-cultural psychological research.
