背景有一个有限的文献研究罪犯的面孔影响识别。根据综合情绪系统（IES）模型，现有的研究表明，在悲伤/恐惧识别的精神病相关的赤字。然而，这些研究中的许多都是小样本的，很少包括一个健康的对照组，以检查犯罪的贡献。我们比较了表现的男性罪犯与反社会（反社会）人格障碍（PD组）和健康的男性智商匹配的控制，在变形的面孔情感处理任务，并检查精神病（使用精神病检查表：筛选版，PCL：SV评估），分数和性能之间的关系在PD样本在这个任务。PD组在识别悲伤面部情感方面存在特定缺陷，即使在100%表达强度下也存在。这种缺陷不能归因于冲动反应，因为PD组的平均反应时间通常比健康对照组长。在PD组中，PCL：SV得分高的人在分类悲伤面部情感方面不如得分低的人准确。精神病总分与悲伤情绪识别准确率之间也存在显著的负相关。情感识别与精神病的亚成分之间没有特定的关系。研究结果表明，犯罪/反社会人格可能与赤字在识别他人的厌恶性线索，这种赤字是更严重的精神病罪犯。研究结果进一步支持IES模型。
Background. There is a limited literature examining face affect recognition in offenders. In line with the Integrated Emotion Systems (IES) model, existing studies suggest a psychopathy-related deficit in sad/fear recognition. However, many of these studies have small samples, and few include a healthy control group in order to examine the contribution of criminality.Method. We compared the performance of male criminals with dissocial (antisocial) personality disorder (PD group) and healthy male IQ-matched controls, on a morphed face affect-processing task and examined the relationship between psychopathy (assessed using the Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version, PCL: SV), score and performance on this task in the PD sample.Results. The PD group had a specific deficit in the recognition of sad facial affect that was present even at 100 % expression intensity. This deficit could not be attributed to impulsive responding as the PD group generally had longer mean reaction times than healthy controls. Within the PD group, those with high scores on the PCL: SV were less accurate than low scorers at classifying sad facial affect. There was also a significant negative correlation between total psychopathy score and sad affect recognition accuracy. There were no specific relationships between affect recognition and the subcomponents of psychopathy.Conclusions. The findings suggest that criminality/antisocial personality may be associated with a deficit in the recognition of aversive cues in others, and that this deficit is more severe in psychopathic offenders. The findings lend further support to the IES model.
