精神病的研究尚未确定精神病检查表-修订版[PCL-R Hare， R. D.(1991)]。手动鳍，修订心理检查表。温哥华。加拿大：英属哥伦比亚大学]预测非裔美国罪犯的病因学相关性与白种人相同。为此，我们研究了情感和信息处理缺陷，这些缺陷被认为是导致精神病患者行为问题的原因。我们使用PCL-R和威尔士焦虑量表（Welsh， G. S.(1956)）将94名非裔美国罪犯分类为精神病患者或非精神病患者。在威尔士g.s.和达尔赫斯特罗姆w.g.（编辑，）。心理学和医学MMPI的基本阅读（第264-281页）。明尼阿波利斯：明尼苏达大学出版社]并评估他们在词汇决策任务中的表现，该任务区分了高加索精神病患者和非精神病患者的表现。与过去的研究一致，结果几乎没有支持非洲裔美国人精神病患者表现出与白人精神病患者相同的表现缺陷的假设。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.版权所有。
Research on psychopathy has yet to establish whether the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised [PCL-R Hare, R. D. (1991). Manual fin, the revised psychology checklist. Vancouver. Canada: University of British Columbia] predicts the same etiologically relevant correlates in African-American offenders as it does in Caucasians. Toward this end, we examined affective and information-processing deficits which have been theorized to contribute to psychopaths' behavior problems. We classified 94 African-American offenders as psychopathic or nonpsychopathic Using the PCL-R and the Welsh Anxiety Scale [Welsh, G. S. (1956). In Welsh G. S. & Dalhstrom W. G. (Eds,). Basic readings in the MMPI in psychology and medicine (pp. 264-281). Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press] and assessed their performance on a lexical decision task that had differentiated the performance of Caucasian psychopathic and nonpsychopathic groups. Consistent with past research, the results provided little support for the hypothesis that African-American psychopaths display the same performance deficits as Caucasian psychopaths.
