under-graduate university students (N = 850) from two Arab countries (Egypt and Kuwait)
administered the original version of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) along
with the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). The LSRP is better organized using a three-factor
structure (Egocentrism, Callousness, and Antisocial) rather than its original two-factor model
(primary and secondary psychopathy) and the reliabilities of all factors were found to be acceptable
to high. In addition, all factors correlated negatively with agreeableness, conscientiousness, and
extraversion but positively with neuroticism. These results provide initial evidence for crosscultural similarity of psychopathy construct.

The prevalence, manifestation and assessment of psychopathy might be influenced by culture.
However, the vast majority of research on psychopathy has been carried out in a few Western,
Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) countries. In contrast, there is limited
knowledge in the Middle Eastern Arabic speaking countries for psychopathy. A large sample of
under-graduate university students (N = 850) from two Arab countries (Egypt and Kuwait)
administered the original version of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) along
with the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). The LSRP is better organized using a three-factor
structure (Egocentrism, Callousness, and Antisocial) rather than its original two-factor model
(primary and secondary psychopathy) and the reliabilities of all factors were found to be acceptable
to high. In addition, all factors correlated negatively with agreeableness, conscientiousness, and
extraversion but positively with neuroticism. These results provide initial evidence for crosscultural similarity of psychopathy construct.

Affect describes any feelings, emotions, or moods that a person experiences and is generally
divided into two broad dimensions—positive affect and negative affect. The most widely used
measure of affect, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), has recently been
translated to Arabic (see Appendix), yet the psychometric equivalence of this adapted measure is
not fully understood. Using a series of multigroup confirmatory factor analyses, the current study
examined measurement invariance of the English and adapted Arabic versions of the PANAS
among 979 American and 1470 Arab university students. Although the two-factor structure of the
20-item PANAS was observed in both groups (configural variance), results did not support full
invariance of factor loadings (metric invariance). A partial metric invariance model, however,
revealed invariant loadings for all positive affect items and all but four negative affect items;
dissimilar factor loadings emerged between groups for irritable, nervous, scared, and jittery.
Evidence did not support scalar invariance of the 16 metric-invariant items, with only ten items
