对精神病态的实验室研究已经产生了一系列令人印象深刻的病因相关发现。然而，到目前为止，试图证明这些发现对非裔美国精神病态罪犯的普遍性在很大程度上是不成功的。恐惧缺失长期以来一直被视为精神病态的标志，但这种关联对非裔美国罪犯的普遍性尚未得到系统评估。本研究使用指令性恐惧范式和恐惧增强惊跳反应来评估这种缺失以及调节其在非裔美国罪犯中表现的因素。此外，我们使用单一因素和双因素模型对精神病态进行概念化，并使用基于访谈和自我报告的测量方法对其结构进行评估。无论评估策略如何，结果都没有提供证据表明精神病态与非裔美国罪犯的恐惧缺失有关。需要进一步的研究来阐明与欧美裔罪犯的精神病态相关的情感缺失是否适用于非裔美国罪犯。
Laboratory studies of psychopathy have yielded an impressive array of etiologically relevant findings. To date, however, attempts to demonstrate the generalizability of these findings to African American psychopathic offenders have been largely unsuccessful. The fear deficit has long been regarded as the hallmark of psychopathy, yet the generalizability of this association to African American offenders has not been systematically evaluated. This study used an instructed fear paradigm and fear-potentiated startle to assess this deficit and the factors that moderate its expression in African American offenders. Furthermore, we conceptualized psychopathy using both a unitary and two-factor model and we assessed the constructs using both interview-based and self-report measures. Regardless of assessment strategy, results provided no evidence that psychopathy relates to fear deficits in African American offenders. Further research is needed to clarify whether the emotion deficits associated with psychopathy in European American offenders are applicable to African American offenders.
