Much contention and speculation exists regarding the emotional and social skills associated with psychopathic personality, including the idea of a predatory perception. The current study examined the relationship between psychopathic personality and social and emotional processing. The study utilised a quasi-experimental design along with self-report measures to examine psychopathy in a community sample ( = 115) of males and females. To examine psychopathy and social information processing, a series of Mixed Design ANOVA's were conducted to examine the effect of psychopathy on character recall. Psychopathy was found to significantly predict recall of the unsuccessful character, however, did not predict recall of character gender or emotion. Two hierarchical regressions analyses were conducted to examine emotional intelligence and empathy. Psychopathy was found to be a significant negative predictor of empathy, however, did not significantly predict emotional intelligence. Implications for the current study lie within advancing the empirical understanding on psychopathic personality and victim vulnerability.
关于与精神病态人格相关的情感和社交技能，存在诸多争论和猜测，包括掠夺性认知的概念。当前的研究考察了精神病态人格与社交及情感处理之间的关系。该研究采用了准实验设计以及自我报告测量方法，以考察一个由115名男性和女性组成的社区样本中的精神病态情况。为了研究精神病态与社会信息处理，进行了一系列混合设计方差分析，以检验精神病态对角色回忆的影响。结果发现，精神病态能显著预测对不成功角色的回忆，但不能预测对角色性别或情感的回忆。进行了两项层次回归分析来考察情商和同理心。结果发现，精神病态是同理心的显著负向预测因子，但不能显著预测情商。本研究的意义在于推进对精神病态人格和受害者易感性的实证理解。
