低负面情绪性（NEM）在精神病态的经典描述和开创性理论中占据核心地位。然而，低NEM与精神病态之间的实证联系很薄弱。作者认为这种不一致是由于NEM和精神病态结构的多面性，以及精神病态各方面相对于NEM标准之间的抑制效应。作者试图在一个大样本的男性囚犯中，使用《精神病态检查表 - 修订版》（PCL - R；R. D. 黑尔，2003年）以及评估NEM不同方面的自评量表，描绘精神病态各方面与NEM之间的差异关联。统计分析显示，精神病态的人际 - 情感方面与NEM各方面呈负相关，而精神病态的社会偏差方面与NEM各方面呈正相关。结果表明，抑制效应可以调和NEM在精神病态经典描述中的核心地位与使用PCL - R进行的实证研究之间的矛盾。
Low negative emotionality (NEM) holds a central place in classic descriptions and seminal theories of psychopathy. However, the empirical link between low NEM and psychopathy is weak. The authors posited that this inconsistency is due to the multifaceted nature of both the NEM and psychopathy constructs and to suppressor effects between facets of psychopathy in relation to NEM criteria. The authors sought to delineate the differential associations between facets of psychopathy and NEM in a large sample of male prisoners using the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; R. D. Hare, 2003) and self-report measures assessing different aspects of NEM. Statistical analyses revealed that the interpersonal-affective facet of psychopathy is negatively associated whereas the social deviance facet of psychopathy is positively associated with facets of NEM. The results demonstrate that suppressor effects can reconcile the centrality of NEM in classic descriptions of psychopathy with empirical investigations using the PCL-R.
