The relationship between moral conduct and moral judgment was investigated by comparing moral reasoning of a psychopathic sample from a maximum security hospital for the criminal offender with a similar inmate, nonpsychopathic sample, and a group of "normals". Psychopaths obtained significantly higher scores on the Kohlberg scale of moral judgment than either of the other groups, for whom no differences were found. Results suggest the hypothesis that lack of guilt feelings in psychopaths facilitate the achievement of higher levels of moral judgment.
通过比较一所高度设防的刑事罪犯医院中的精神病态样本、类似的非精神病态罪犯样本以及一组“正常人”的道德推理，研究了道德行为与道德判断之间的关系。在科尔伯格道德判断量表上，精神病态者的得分显著高于其他两组，而其他两组之间未发现差异。结果支持了这样一种假设，即精神病态者缺乏内疚感有助于他们达到更高水平的道德判断。
