The urinary excretion of adrenaline (A) and noradrenaline (NA) in a group of 24 arrested men was measured in three experimental sessions: 2 weeks, 1 week, and immediately before trial. The first session was assumed to represent a moderate laboratory stress due to the novelty of the situation and the last session a real life stress, associated with anticipation of appearing in court. Both are superimposed on the sustained real life stress of being in jail. There was no significant increase in A or NA in the last, presumedly the most stressful session. However, when personality measures were taken into account, there were significant and consistent differences in the pattern of A and NA excretion over the sessions between subgroups of subjects. Subjects high in psychopathy did not react with an increase in either A or NA in the last, presumedly the most stressful session. They also had conspicuously lower NA excretion, as compared to subjects low in psychopathy and relative to their own A excretion. Subjects low in psychopathy showed a reversed pattern.
在三个实验阶段测量了一组24名被捕男性的肾上腺素（A）和去甲肾上腺素（NA）的尿排泄量：分别是在两周、一周以及审判前即刻。第一个阶段被认为代表了由于情境新颖而产生的中度实验室应激，而最后一个阶段代表了与出庭预期相关的现实生活应激。这两种应激都叠加在入狱这一持续的现实生活应激之上。在最后一个据推测压力最大的阶段，A或NA均未出现显著增加。然而，当考虑人格测量因素时，不同亚组受试者在各个阶段的A和NA排泄模式存在显著且一致的差异。在最后一个据推测压力最大的阶段，精神病态得分高的受试者的A或NA均未出现增加。与精神病态得分低的受试者相比，以及相对于他们自身的A排泄量而言，他们的NA排泄量也明显更低。精神病态得分低的受试者则呈现出相反的模式。
