ObjectiveVarious psychological concepts with different names reflect essentially the same content. A recent study (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2023.112102) found short scales of subclinical psychopathy and everyday sadism to be affected by this so‐called jangle fallacy: Latent factors of psychopathy and everyday sadism were almost perfectly correlated, the nomological networks of psychopathy and sadism measures were almost identical, and in some cases, core criteria of psychopathy were more strongly related to sadism and vice versa.MethodThe present research (Ns = 1076 and 507; self‐report) is an extended replication of the aforementioned study utilizing long scales instead of short scales for both constructs and corresponding criteria that were more pertinent to their potential distinction.ResultsAs in the original study, the latent psychopathy and sadism factors were almost perfectly correlated. The nomological networks of the psychopathy and sadism scales were almost identical, with numerous focal correlates of psychopathy being equally or even more strongly related to sadism and vice versa.ConclusionThese findings corroborate the earlier findings of the jangle fallacy of subclinical psychopathy and everyday sadism, calling into question the existence of everyday sadism as a unique construct.

亚临床精神病和日常的测量仍然是多余的：Blötner 和 Mokros 的概念复制和扩展 （2023）


目的各种名称不同的心理学概念，本质上反映了相同的内容。最近的一项研究 （https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2023.112102） 发现，亚临床精神病和日常的短尺度受到这种所谓的 jangle 谬误的影响：精神病和日常的潜在因素几乎完全相关，精神病和测量的名词网络几乎相同，在某些情况下，精神病的核心标准与的相关性更强，反之亦然。方法本研究（Ns = 1076 和 507;自我报告）是上述研究的扩展复制，对构建体和与其潜在区别更相关的相应标准使用长尺度而不是短尺度。结果与原始研究一样，潜在的精神病和因素几乎完全相关。精神病和量表的名词网络几乎相同，精神病的许多焦点相关性与相同甚至更强，反之亦然。结论这些发现证实了亚临床精神病和日常的 jangle 谬误的早期发现，质疑日常作为一种独特结构的存在。
