Electrodermal activity was monitored while 64 prison inmates were presented with a random series of fast and slow rise-time tones ranging in intensity from 80 to 120dB. The inmates were divided into groups on the basis of global ratings of psychopathy and scores on the Socialization (Os) scale. The group considered to be most psychopathic (high ratings of psychopathy and low So scores) gave smaller skin conductance responses than did the other groups, but only to the 120dB tones. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that psychopaths are electrodermally hyporesponsive to intense nonsignal stimuli. High ratings of psychopathy were associated with slow recovery of the skin conductance response, but only with the 120dB fast rise-time tones, and only in the left hand.
在向64名监狱囚犯呈现一系列强度在80至120分贝之间、上升时间随机快慢的音调时，对他们的皮肤电活动进行了监测。根据精神病态的总体评分和社交化（Os）量表得分，将这些囚犯分成了几组。被认为精神病态程度最高的组（精神病态评分高且社交化得分低）对皮肤电导率的反应比其他组小，但仅对120分贝的音调有此反应。这些发现与以下假设一致：精神病患者对强烈的非信号刺激在皮肤电方面反应迟钝。精神病态的高评分与皮肤电导率反应的缓慢恢复有关，但仅与120分贝快速上升时间的音调有关，且仅在左手出现这种情况。
