“…Deficits in affective empathy form a central concept in primary psychopathy (Hare, 1998) and similarly reduced empathetic responsiveness is linked to high P scorers The P-psychopathy continuum and facets of P 6 (Richendoller & Weaver, 1994). It is therefore hypothesized that the primary facets of P will be negatively associated with affective empathy.…”

Highlights  An examination of psychopathy related facets in EPQ-R Psychoticism (P) Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the 2, 3 and 4 factor models of psychopathy in P  support the 4 factor model over 2 factor model, but 3 factor model had best fit  P-facets show predicted divergent associations with psychopathy related traits  linked to high psychopathy, impulsivity and aggression, and low empathy *Highlights (for review)The P-psychopathy continuum and facets of P 1 The P-psychopathy continuum: Facets of Psychoticism and their associations with psychopathic tendencies Abstract Eysenck proposed that psychopathy is at the extreme end of the Psychoticism (P) personality dimension (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1976). This study examined (i) whether psychopathy-relevant P items of the EPQ-R can form psychometrically valid facets that map onto the conceptualization of the two-, three-or four-factor models of psychopathy using confirmatory factor analysis (N=577) in a normal population; and (ii) whether those P-facets have criteria-related validity in associations with self-reported primary and secondary psychopathy, impulsivity (subsample N=306), and measures of trait empathy and aggression (subsample N=212). The four-factor model incorporating affective, interpersonal, impulsive, and antisocial facets of P was superior to the two-factor model; however, the three-factor conceptualization excluding the antisocial P-facet was the best fit. The facets show predicted divergent associations with primary and secondary self-reported psychopathy and trait measures. Findings are discussed in light of Eysenck's P-psychopathy continuity hypothesis and the applicability of facet approaches to the prediction of psychopathic and antisocial tendencies.

“…Woodworth and Porter (2002) provide an example of one psychopathic inmate who carefully planned and murdered his wife in order to benefit financially from her insurance policy. Psychopaths have been described as individuals who prey on others across the lifespan (Hare, 1998). The use of aggression to serve a selfish function could be thought of as evidence for the idea that psychopathy is an evolutionarily adaptive strategy.…”

“…Psychopathic criminals commit a disproportionate amount of crime, habitually fail to fulfil societal obligations, appear to lack any sense of loyalty, and are unperturbed when confronted with the destructive nature of their behaviour [19,32]. The psychopathy checklist revised (PCL-R) is an empirically valid and reliable instrument for assessing psychopathy in a prison population [31,32].…”

Risky decisions and response reversal: is there evidence of orbitofrontal cortex dysfunction in psychopathic individuals?

This study investigates the performance of psychopathic individuals on tasks believed to be sensitive to dorsolateral prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) functioning. Psychopathic and non-psychopathic individuals, as defined by the Hare psychopathy checklist revised (PCL-R) [Hare, The Hare psychopathy checklist revised, Toronto, Ontario: Multi-Health Systems, 1991] completed a gambling task [Cognition 50 (1994) 7] and the intradimensional/extradimensional (ID/ED) shift task [Nature 380 (1996) 69]. On the gambling task, psychopathic participants showed a global tendency to choose disadvantageously. Specifically, they showed an impaired ability to show learning over the course of the task. On the ID/ED task, the performance of psychopathic individuals was not significantly different from incarcerated controls on attentional set-shifting, but significant impairments were found on response reversal. These results are interpreted with reference to an OFC and amygdala dysfunction explanation of psychopathy. Crown
