Research on psychopathy in women has generated equivocal laboratory findings. This study examined the performance of psychopathic women in 2 laboratory tasks designed to assess abnormal selective attention associated with response modulation deficits: a computerized picture-word (PW) task, and a picture-word Stroop (PW Stroop) task. Consistent with data from psychopathic men, women receiving high scores on the Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (Hare, 1991) displayed reduced Stroop interference on the PW and PW Stroop tasks. Results suggest that despite some differences in the expression of psychopathy across gender, psychopathic women are characterized by selective attention abnormalities predicted by the response modulation hypothesis and similar to those exhibited by psychopathic men.
针对女性心理变态的研究得出了模棱两可的实验室结果。本研究考察了心理变态女性在两项旨在评估与反应调节缺陷相关的异常选择性注意的实验室任务中的表现：一项计算机化的图片-单词（PW）任务和一项图片-单词斯特鲁普（PW Stroop）任务。与来自心理变态男性的数据一致，在《心理变态检查表-修订版》（黑尔，1991年）中得分较高的女性在PW和PW Stroop任务中表现出斯特鲁普干扰减少。结果表明，尽管心理变态在不同性别中的表现存在一些差异，但心理变态女性的特征是反应调节假说所预测的选择性注意异常，且与心理变态男性表现出的异常相似。
