临床医生早就注意到，具有高度精神病特征的人可以表现出独特的人际交往风格，包括长时间的眼神接触，人际空间的侵入，以及频繁使用手势。这种形式的非语言交流可以通过手、身体和头部的位置和动态来测量。以前的研究已经开发出一种自动化算法，旨在从监禁成年男性样本的临床访谈数字记录中捕获头部位置和动态。我们观察到，较高的精神病评分与静止的头部停留时间有关。在这里，我们应用了一个类似的自动化算法，以评估头部的位置和动态的视频临床访谈评估心理病态的特质，从n = 242青年住在一个最高安全的少年教养所。我们观察到，较高的精神病评分（通过野兔精神病检查表：青年版[PCL：YV]评估）与头部动力学的独特模式相关。具体而言，PCL：YV总，因子1（测量宏伟的操纵和冷酷无情的特质）和方面1（测量宏伟的操纵特质）分数与较高比例的时间花在头部动力学模式，包括适度的运动远离平均头部位置。本研究为未来的研究奠定了基础，应用定量方法，以更好地了解非语言沟通风格的模式，在临床人群的特点是严重的反社会行为。
Clinicians have long noted that individuals with elevated psychopathic traits can be characterized by unique interpersonal styles, including prolonged eye contact, invasion of interpersonal space, and frequent use of hand gestures. Such forms of nonverbal communication can be measured via hand, body, and head position and dynamics. Previous studies have developed an automated algorithm designed to capture head position and dynamics from digital recordings of clinical interviews in a sample of incarcerated adult men. We observed that higher psychopathy scores were associated with stationary head dwell time. Here, we applied a similar automated algorithm to assess head position and dynamics on videotaped clinical interviews assessing psychopathic traits from n = 242 youth housed at a maximum-security juvenile correctional facility. We observed that higher psychopathy scores (assessed via the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version [PCL:YV]) were associated with unique patterns of head dynamics. Specifically, PCL:YV Total, Factor 1 (measuring grandiose-manipulative and callous-unemotional traits), and Facet 1 (measuring grandiose-manipulative traits) scores were associated with a higher proportion of time spent in a head dynamics pattern consisting of moderate movement away from the average head position. This study lays the groundwork for future investigations to apply quantitative methods to better understand patterns of nonverbal communication styles in clinical populations characterized by severe antisocial behavior.
