The aims of the current study were to show that the affective component of psychopathy (callous-unemotional traits) is related to deficits in recognizing emotions over and above other psychopathy dimensions and to show that this relationship is driven by a specific deficit in recognizing complex emotions more so than basic emotions. The authors administered the Child Eyes Test to assess emotion recognition in a community sample of preadolescent children between the ages of 10 and 12 (N = 417; 53.6% boys). The task required children to identify a broad array of emotions from photographic stimuli depicting the eye region of the face. Stimuli were then divided into complex or basic emotions. Results demonstrated a unique association between callous-unemotional traits and complex emotions, with weaker associations with basic emotion recognition, over and above other dimensions of psychopathy.
本研究的目的是表明精神病态的情感成分（冷酷无情特质）与识别情绪方面的缺陷有关，这种缺陷超出了其他精神病态维度，并且表明这种关系是由识别复杂情绪的特定缺陷驱动的，而不是基本情绪。作者对10至12岁的青春期前儿童社区样本（N = 417；53.6%为男孩）进行了儿童眼神测试以评估情绪识别能力。该任务要求儿童从描绘面部眼睛区域的照片刺激中识别一系列广泛的情绪。然后将刺激分为复杂情绪或基本情绪。结果表明，冷酷无情特质与复杂情绪之间存在独特关联，与基本情绪识别的关联较弱，且超出了精神病态的其他维度。
