本研究调查了有情绪和行为障碍的儿童的心理生理反应性，这些儿童根据其精神病态筛查工具（PSD）得分（弗里克和黑尔，即将出版）被分为不同组，对痛苦线索、威胁性和中性刺激做出反应。从该群体中，选取了16名PSD得分高的儿童和16名得分低的对照组儿童，向他们展示这三种类型刺激的幻灯片，并记录他们的皮肤电反应。另外，还向主流教育中的16名正常发育儿童呈现这些刺激。与对照组相比，PSD得分高的儿童对痛苦线索和威胁性刺激的皮肤电反应降低。相比之下，两组对中性刺激的皮肤电反应没有差异。研究结果在精神病态的暴力抑制机制模型（布莱尔，1995）的框架内进行了解释。（C）1999年爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study investigates the psychophysiological responsiveness of children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, divided according to their Psychopathy Screening Device (PSD) scores (Frick & Hare, in press) to distress cues, threatening and neutral stimuli. From this population, 16 high PSD scoring children and 16 low scoring controls were shown slides of these three types of stimuli and their electrodermal responses were recorded. An additional 16 normal developing children in mainstream education were also presented with these stimuli. The high PSD scoring children showed, relative to the controls, reduced electrodermal responses to the distress cues and threatening stimuli. In contrast, the two groups did not differ in their electrodermal responses to the neutral stimuli. The results are interpreted within the Violence Inhibition Mechanism model (Blair, 1995) of Psychopathy. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
