Emotional Recognition in Individuals with Psychopathic Tendencies during Visual Oddball Tasks: An Event-Related Potentials Study
Abstract
The present study investigated emotional recognition in subjects with psychopathic tendency using event-related potentials. On the basis of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised(Lee et al., 2007), undergraduate students were divided into psychopathic tendency(n=20) and control(n=20) groups. Task 1 and Task 2 were visual oddball tasks of emotional recognition. In all tasks, standard stimuli were neutral facial expressions. Target stimuli of Task 1 were fear and sad facial expressions and target stimuli of Task 2 were happy and sad facial expressions. Subjects were required to press the button whenever the presented stimuli were emotional facial expressions. Both groups showed significantly lower accuracies in the fear stimuli than the sad stimuli. The psychopathic tendency group exhibited slower reaction time in the fear stimuli than the sad stimuli. In Task 1 and Task 2, both groups showed that P300 component was elicited by the target stimuli at the parietal sites for 400-600 ms. There were no significant differences in the amplitude and latency of P300 between groups and stimuli condition of emotion. However, in the psychopathic tendency group, P300 elicited by fear stimuli revealed greater amplitude than sad stimuli at frontal electrode sites. This pattern of P300 amplitude difference was not observed in the control group. These results indicate that undergraduate students with psychopathic tendencies exhibit weak emotional recognition deficits.
