The current study explored associations between testosterone, cortisol, and both the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRPS) and the Inventory of Callous Unemotional (ICU) traits. Data were gathered from a relatively large sample of university students ( = 522) and analyses considered direct and interactive associations between hormones and psychopathic traits, as well as interactions between these associations and the time of day at which samples were gathered and the sex of participants. Baseline cortisol had a negative association with LSRPS primary psychopathy scores. In addition, baseline cortisol interacted with the time of day in association with LSRPS total scores. Simple slopes analyses indicated cortisol had a negative association with LSRPS total scores in the morning but not the afternoon. Interactions among hormone measures were not statistically significant. There was also no evidence for the moderation of associations between hormones and psychopathic traits by sex.
本研究探讨了睾酮、皮质醇与列文森自我报告精神病态量表（LSRPS）和冷酷无情特质问卷（ICU）特质之间的关系。数据来自于一个相对较大的大学生样本（n=522），分析考虑了激素与精神病态特征之间的直接和交互关联，以及这些关联与采集样本时间以及参与者性别之间的相互作用。基础皮质醇与 LSRPS 原发性精神病评分呈负相关。此外，基础皮质醇与采集时间之间存在交互作用，与 LSRPS 总分相关。简单斜率分析表明，皮质醇与 LSRPS 总分呈负相关，但仅在早晨，而不在下午。激素测量值之间的相互作用不具有统计学意义。也没有证据表明激素与精神病态特征之间的关联受到性别的调节。
