This study examined differential associations between phenotypic domains of the triarchic conceptualization psychopathy (boldness, meanness, and disinhibition; Patrick, Fowles, & Krueger, 2009), as assessed by Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (Patrick, 2010b), five-factor model (FFM) normal personality, indexed Revised NEO Personality Inventory (Costa McCrae, 1992; Spanish version, Costa 1999), in 349 undergraduates (96 men). Distinctive patterns correlations for components did not differ...

Abstract The role of the two dimensions psychopathy—dispositional fearlessness (theorized to reflect variations in reactivity brain's defensive system) and externalizing proneness (presumed function anterior regulatory systems)—in fear learning was examined a sample undergraduates assessed using Psychopathic Personality Inventory‐Revised ( PPI ‐ R ) who participated differential aversive conditioning task. Only scores on self‐reported “fearless dominance,” irrespective “impulsive...

The Spanish norms for pictures in shows 15 to 20 of the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) are reported this paper. Participants were 811 undergraduate university students (521 women), who rated valence, arousal, and dominance 358 pictures. correlations between North-American ratings all highly significant and, like United States, picture distribution bidimensional affective space, defined by on valence displayed typical boomerang shape. Our data also corroborated gender...

Abstract Psychopathy is a multifaceted personality disorder characterized by distinct affective/interpersonal traits, including callousness–unemotionality/meanness, which are often considered the hallmarks of empathic deficits. It has been posited that processing others’ pain could play an important role in empathy capabilities. This study aimed to investigate influence perspective taking on electrocortical responses during relation psychopathic callousness. The late positive potential (LPP)...

This investigation examined the reliability, validity, and factor structure of Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) in male adult Spanish prison populations (n = 117). The interrater reliability internal consistency coefficients were high, similar to those obtained other countries. data provides support for homogeneity unidimensionality psychopathy construct samples. analysis also replicated two solution previous studies. factors showed different patterns intercorrelations with several...

This study examined associations of performance-monitoring event-related potentials (ERPs) from go/no-go and flanker tasks with one another, psychopathy-related traits disinhibition, meanness, boldness. A task-dependent relationship was evident between the error-related negativity (ERN) trait high-disinhibited participants showing reduced no-go ERN but not ERN. Disinhibition also inversely related to variants P3 error positivity (Pe) these two tasks. factor analysis ERPs revealed distinct...

Abstract Startle probe modulation during affective picture viewing was assessed in a Spanish prison population. As for North American inmates, psychopaths failed to display normal blink potentiation unpleasant slides even though their evaluative judgments and autonomic reaction stimuli paralleled those of other inmate noninmate participants. The results suggest that diminished defense activation characterizes despite cultural differences.

In order to clarify the role of two broad components psychopathy (interpersonal/affective and social deviance; R. D. Hare, 2003) in explaining maladaptive response perseveration psychopaths, as well reflection after punished responses this deficit, authors administered a card task 47 Spanish male inmates assessed using Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; 1991). Hierarchical regressions showed that psychopaths' (more cards played less money earned) was uniquely predicted by deviance...

The boldness disposition of the triarchic model psychopathy is theorized to entail, aside from mal-adaptive proclivities (narcissism, fearless risk-taking), some adaptive features (e.g., immunity stressful events, high self-esteem, and emotional resilience) that seem predispose individuals an effective regulation in response environmental demands. frequency band heart rate variability -an index parasympathetic cardiac vagal activity-is a well-validated physiological self-regulation mental...

This study aimed to extend previously reported links between distinctive configurations of traits in the psychopathic personality and maladaptive response perseveration, by examining performance Card Perseveration Task (CPT) within framework triarchic model psychopathy a mixed-gender undergraduate sample. A computerized version CPT was administered 222 undergraduates (142 women) assessed for dimensions using Triarchic Psychopathy Measure. Maladaptive perseveration (more cards played less...

Abstract One of the most prominent characteristics psychopathy is a reduced processing emotionally relevant information. However, it still unclear how attentional mechanisms may modulate this deficit. The current study aimed to examine impact focus on emotion in relation triarchic constructs boldness, meanness, and disinhibition. Participants performed two tasks which pleasant, neutral, unpleasant framed pictures were presented. In first task, participants required indicate color frame...
