This short report presents preliminary data on the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in moderating the relationship between psychopathy and aggression in a nonforensic sample. A sample of 109 volunteer men was administered the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised (PPI-R), the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire, and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso emotional intelligence Test in individual sessions. Correlation and moderation analyzes showed that, at low levels of EI (in terms of strategic ability to understand and manage one's own and others' emotions), people scoring high on the total PPI-R and impulsivity dimension seemed to be both reactively and proactively aggressive. By contrast, at high levels of strategic ability, the relationships between psychopathy and aggression were no longer significant. These preliminary results encourage further investigation into the role of EI ability in mitigating aggressive outcomes in psychopathic subjects.
本简短报告呈现了关于情商（EI）在非法医样本中调节精神病态与攻击性之间关系的初步数据。对109名男性志愿者样本分别进行了修订版精神病态人格问卷（PPI-R）、反应性-主动性攻击问卷以及梅耶-萨洛维-卡鲁索情商测试。相关性和调节分析表明，在低情商水平（即理解和管理自身及他人情绪的策略能力方面），PPI-R总分及冲动性维度得分高的人似乎在反应性和主动性方面都具有攻击性。相比之下，在高策略能力水平下，精神病态与攻击性之间的关系不再显著。这些初步结果促使进一步研究情商能力在减轻精神病态个体攻击性行为后果方面的作用。
