Abstract in brief

This study investigates how different factors like demographics, parenting styles, peer influence, and individual traits affect the stability of psychopathy from age 13 to age 24.
Researchers analyzed data from over 250 participants, using parent reports at age 13 and interviewer assessments at age 24, focusing on overall psychopathy scores and four specific facets.
Out of 65 potential interactions tested, 8 were found to be statistically significant, suggesting some factors may influence the persistence of psychopathic traits into adulthood.]
