L'échelle de psychopathie (PCL-R). Hare a développé une procédure d'évaluation qui permet de mesurer les composantes affectives, interpersonnelles et comportementales de la psychopathie reliées de près aux conceptions traditionnelles du trouble telles que celles de Cleckley (1976) et de McCord et McCord (1956). Cette procédure est une entrevue semi-structurée consistant à interviewer le participant sur différents domaines de sa vie. Elle a pour avantage une meilleure identification des tentatives de simulation et de manipulation de la part de participants pouvant être habiles à duper. Elle s'accompagne d'une échelle, appelée Échelle de Psychopathie de Hare.
