The assessment of physical risk taking: Preliminary construct validation of a new behavioral measure

“…The implications of this delay effect are not completely negative. For example, some have proposed that psychopathic individuals have a cognitive processing deficit compared to non-psychopathic individuals, wherein such individuals fail to integrate immediate feedback information when focused on a risk taking task (such as a card game where they try to win money and avoid losses) and thus fail to adapt their behavioral strategy effectively [ 64 ]. However, this deficit has been shown to disappear when a delay (similar to the one imposed in the current study) is enforced before allowing the next behavioral choice [ 33 ].…”

Psychopathy: Simple or Syndromal Disorder of Personality

“…4; 2017 evident in one's impaired functioning from a normal or expected considering the individual's cognition, affects, and relationships. This is in particular when a person cannot control his inner or outer conflicts, or reacts in a manner that does not contribute to the problem solutions (Cooke et al, 1998;Zepinic, 2017). Maladaptive and inflexible approach is often a broad range of personal and social situations, and leads to clinically significant disturbances often tormenting person or causing impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (APA, 2013).…”

“…His aggression is more intense, his impulsivity is more pronounced, his emotional reactions are more shallowed. Psychopath is a chronically unstable and aimless lifestyle marked by casual and flagrant violations of the social norms and expectations (Cooke et al, 1998;Hare, 1970;Hare, 1999). Two features dominate -one depicting feelings and relationships, the other social deviance-provide a comprehensive picture of the psychopathic personality.…”

“…Additionally, the clinicians (Benjamin, 2003;Cooke et al, 1998;Gao & Reine, 2010;Hakkanen-Nyholm & Nyholm, 2012;Zepinic, 2010Zepinic, , 2017 suggest that confusion about relationship between the psychopathy and the personality disorders arising from the fact that psychopath, sociopath, and antisocial personality have been defined by a multitude of their different and confusion attitudes. Regardless of evident differences between these conditions, the clinicians are agreed that antisocial behaviour might be result of the appreciably different personality combinations.…”

Procesamiento de errores en la psicopatía subclínica: un estudio de potenciales evocados

“…Este modelo surge en un momento en el que, a pesar del gran conocimiento acumulado sobre la etiología, la evaluación, las diversas manifestaciones del trastorno en distintas poblaciones, y las implicaciones clínicas y forenses de la psicopatía (Cooke, Forth y Hare, 1998;Hervé y Yuille, 2007;Patrick, 2006a;Salekin y Lynam, 2010), todavía persisten las controversias en torno a la propia naturaleza del constructo, a los límites del mismo y a sus características principales.…”
