“…Thus, the model predicts no differences on the EI clarity dimension. However, other investigators have reported that psychopathic individuals are deficient in recognizing and discriminating between different affective stimuli (e.g., Blair et al, 2004). Consequently, we also examine the association between psychopathy and EI clarity.…”

“…In lieu of intellectual deficits, investigators frequently attribute this maladaptive behavior to deficient emotion processing. Indeed, laboratory research has documented psychopathy-related failures to attend to and make use of emotion stimuli (Newman & Lorenz, 2003), alter a dominant response set for reward in the face of growing punishments (Newman, Patterson, & Kosson, 1987), and discriminate among the affective aspects of words and faces (Blair et al, 2004).…”

“…These data have fueled speculation that psychopathy, especially the affective-interpersonal features of the disorder, are associated with abnormal amygdala functioning (e.g., Blair et al, 2004) with the implication that emotion stimuli may elicit inadequate activation and, thus, inadequate attention (e.g., Whalen, 1998) in psychopathic individuals. Conversely, Patrick, Cuthbert, and Lang (1994) found that the poor fear conditioning of psychopathic individuals was associated with the impulsive-antisocial (Factor 2) dimension and suggested that such deficits reflect a problem with the maintenance of neural representations, undermining the ability to associate fear with specific environmental events.…”

Psychopathic individuals are infamous for their chronic and diverse failures of social adjustment despite their adequate intellectual abilities. Non-cognitive factors, in particular trait emotional intelligence (EI), offer one possible explanation for their lack of success. This study explored the association between psychopathy and EI, as measured by the Psychopathy Checklist -Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 2003) and Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS, Salovey, Mayer, Golman, Turvey & Palfai, 1995). Consistent with the Response Modulation (RM) model of psychopathy (Newman & Lorenz, 2003), low-anxious psychopathic individuals had significantly lower scores on TMMS Repair and Attention compared to controls. Consistent with proposals by Patrick and Lang (1999) regarding PCL-R factors, these EI deficits related to different aspects of the psychopathy construct. Correlations revealed significant inverse associations between PCL-R factor 1 and Attention and PCL-R factor 2 and Repair. We propose that the multi-dimensional EI framework affords a complementary perspective on laboratory-based explanations of psychopathy.

“…poverty of major affective reactions including a lack of guilt/remorse and incapacity for affectional bonds (Cleckley, 1982); 2.) general affective deficits (Hastings et al, 2008;Dawel et al, 2012) including poor emotional recognition (Blair, 1995;Blair et al, 2005) which extends to reduced levels of anxiety/fear, sensitivity to punishment (Lykken, 1957;Newman, MacCoon, Vaughn & Sadeh, 2005) and a reduced ability to recognise some negative emotions, such as fear and sadness (Blair et al, 2004;Montagne et al, 2005). This also includes the misidentification of anger (Iria et al, 2012) and an absence of moral emotion (Blair et al 2005); 3.)…”

“…Diante disso, déficits de processamento emocional, como a capacidade de reconhecer emoções expressas pela face, têm sido investigados em psicopatas e indivíduos com traços de psicopatia devido ao potencial de contribuição na etiologia do transtorno, pois podem estar relacionados a um menor nível de responsividade a emoções alheias e, consequentemente, ao estilo interpessoal disfuncional e à manutenção do comportamento antissocial (Blair, 2008;Blair et al, 2004;Kosson, Suchy, Mayer, & Libby, 2002;. No entanto, os estudos não apontam, conjuntamente, para uma total incapacidade relacionada ao reconhecimento das emoções alheias Wilson et al, 2011).…”

RESUMO -A psicopatia é um transtorno de personalidade caracterizado por comportamentos antissociais, capacidade de julgamento comprometida e déficits no processamento emocional. Pesquisadores têm investigado a habilidade de psicopatas e indivíduos com traços de psicopatia reconhecer emoções expressas pela face. Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática nas principais bases de dados internacionais de artigos publicados entre 1975 e 2013, sobre essa temática. Dezessete artigos preencheram os critérios de inclusão desta revisão. Os resultados evidenciam o uso de métodos não convergentes e sugerem que a psicopatia está relacionada a déficits no reconhecimento de emoções negativas. Dados confirmatórios só poderão ser alcançados a partir de uma padronização metodológica. Sugere-se a utilização de tempos distintos de exposição dos estímulos para estudos futuros. Palavras-chave: psicopatia, expressões faciais, emoções Psychopathy and Recognition of Facial Expressions of Emotions:A Systematic Review ABSTRACT -Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by anti-social behavior, compromised judgment and deficits of emotional processing. Researchers have been investigating the ability of psychopaths and individuals with psychopathic traits to recognize emotions expressed through the face. The present study performed a systematic review using the main international databases of articles about this theme, published between 1975 and 2013. Seventeen articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this review. The results evidenced the use of non-converging methods and suggest that psychopathy is related to deficits in recognition of negative feelings. Confirmatory data can only be achieved through a methodological standardization. In future studies the use of distinct stimuli exposure time is suggested.
