The value of behavioral and interpersonal information as an addition to self-reports of socio-affective dynamics

This is a comment on the target article by Vize at al., who demonstrated how trait dimensions of psychopathy relate to different indicators of affective and interpersonal processes in a daily life study. We propose three paths on how to advance this research in the future. First, interpersonal information from dyads and groups can supplement self-reports of psychopathy-relevant behavior. Second, the role of the time frames in which psychopathy phenomena unfold needs further exploration and measurement groundwork. Third, passive mobile sensing allows for deriving more objective behavioral measures and sampling across longer time frames with higher temporal resolution.
