This study investigated dysfunctions of emotional recognition among juvenile offenders based on psychological theories of criminal high-risk groups and findings of psychopaths. Furthermore, it was studied if emotional dysfunctions might be more obvious in processing stimuli with specific emotional tones. The comparison among noncriminal offenders, juvenile offenders in a protection center, and offenders in a juvenile prison presented there were significant differences among their performance in the Emotional Recognition Test - Revised (ERT-R) as predicted. Even though the effect sizes were unusually large because of the huge sample size, the overall trend of the findings confirmed that juvenile offenders were less sensitive to emotional cues, specifically negative emotional cues in general. However, this emotional recognition dysfunction was not reflected in comprehending positive cues. This is consistent in part with Western findings presenting psychopaths used to be unskillful processing sadness and fear. Also this replication might facilitate numerous domestic empirical studies on psychopaths.
