It is argued that transgressions of primary psychopathy have instrumental purpose while transgression of secondary psychopathy have reactive features. This study compares and explains the psychological processes that primary and secondary psychopathy end up with transgressions in order to extend clinical implications of the heterogeneity of the two psychopathies. In order to do so, this study carries out Levenson’s Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, the Korean mechanisms of moral disengagement scale for adults, the moral emotions scenario scale (instrumental/reactive), and the unethical decision making scale (instrumental/reactive) on 712 male and female undergraduate students. Two research models, where moral emotions (instrumental/ reactive) and moral disengagement work between primary and secondary psychopathic traits and unethical decision making (instrumental/reactive), were used in this study; the results are as follows. In the research model 1, indirect effects of moral emotions and moral disengagement are identified in the relation between primary psychopathic traits and unethical decision making for instrumental purpose. In addition, an indirect effect of moral disengagement is identified in the relation between secondary psychopathic traits and unethical decision making for instrumental purpose. Meanwhile, in the research model 2, a direct effect as well as an indirect effect of moral emotions and moral disengagement is identified in the relation between primary psychopathic traits and unethical decision making by reaction. additionally, an indirect effect of moral disengagement is identified in the relation between secondary psychopathic traits and unethical decision making by reaction. This research suggests effective interventions for prevention, treatment and education for primary and secondary psychopathy.
