Emotional processing in individuals with psychopathic traits during the implicit association test: An Event-Related Potentials Study
Abstract
This study recorded event-related potentials during an implicit association test in order to understand the emotional processing in individuals with psychopathic traits. On the basis of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (Lee et al., 2008), undergraduate students were divided into psychopathic traits (n=13) and control (n=13) groups. The implicit association test involved pictures (happy and fear faces) and words (positive and negative words). Compared to the picture stimuli in the inconsistent task, the picture stimuli in the consistent task elicited larger late positive potentials amplitude in the frontal and central regions in the control group. However, this pattern was not observed in the psychopathic traits group. Compared to the word stimuli in the inconsistent task, the word stimuli in the consistent task elicited larger late positive potentials amplitude in the frontal, central and parietal regions in the control group. However, this pattern was not observed in the psychopathic traits group. These results suggest that individuals with psychopathic traits have difficulties in emotional processing.
