Peripheral psychophysiological reactivity (skin conductance and heart rate changes) to mental activity tasks (imagery and listening to music) was examined in child psychiatric day or in-patients with conduct and emotional disorders. Children with predominant antisocial symptomatology showed higher electrodermal than cardiovascular reactivity to the experimental tasks, whilst children with predominant neurotic symptoms showed more marked cardiovascular reactivity. No statistical differences between the groups emerged in response to listening to music, but antisocials were more responsive (with higher skin conductance level increases) to imaging pleasant situations, whereas neurotics were more reactive (increased heart rate levels and decreases in skin conductance) to imaging unpleasant situations. The results are compatible with an enhanced biological responsiveness by antisocials to reward and with neurotics experiencing an unusually marked sense of threat and withdrawal to aversive stimuli.
对患有品行和情绪障碍的儿童精神科日间患者或住院患者进行了研究，以检测他们在心理活动任务（想象和听音乐）中的外周心理生理反应（皮肤电传导和心率变化）。以反社会症状为主的儿童在实验任务中表现出比心血管反应更高的皮肤电反应，而以神经症症状为主的儿童则表现出更明显的心血管反应。两组在听音乐时没有出现统计学差异，但反社会者对想象愉快情境的反应更强（皮肤电传导水平增加更高），而神经症患者对想象不愉快情境的反应更强（心率水平增加和皮肤电传导下降）。这些结果与反社会者对奖励的生物反应增强以及神经症患者对厌恶刺激异常明显的威胁感和退缩感相一致。
