Abstract:

Psychopathy is a syndrome of related behavioral and interpersonal symptoms. This study examines whether female psychopaths demonstrate the emotional processing deficits observed among male psychopaths. Participants were 80 female inmates. The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised, 2nd edition (Hare, 2003) was used to create psychopathic (n=22) and nonpsychopathic (n=29) groups. A lexical decision task measured reaction time to concrete, abstract-emotionally negative, abstract-emotionally positive, and abstract-emotionally neutral words. It was hypothesized that nonpsychopaths would respond faster to abstract compared to concrete words and to abstract-emotional compared to abstract-neutral words; psychopaths were not expected to show differential responding. Mixed support for study hypotheses was found.
