Abstract:
This article explores the implicit self-concept pertaining to psychopathy. Two online studies showed inconsistent results, with Study 1 (n = 243) suggesting that psychopathy is linked to an implicit self-concept marked by low empathy and Study 2 (n = 230) implying no such relationship. In a sample of offenders and community controls (Study 3a, n = 166), higher scores on the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) were related to an implicit self-concept of being less rather than more antisocial, and the implicit self-concept showed incremental validity compared to the explicit self-concept. The retesting of an offender subsample (Study 3b, n = 47) yielded no evidence for temporal stability or convergent validity. The implicit self-concept of highly psychopathic individuals thus appears to vary, depending on the social context. Future studies should replicate these results in different samples, using additional external correlates.
摘要:
本文探讨了与精神病有关的内隐自我概念。两项在线研究显示结果不一致,研究1(n=243)表明精神病与以低移情为特征的内隐自我概念有关,而研究2(n=230)暗示没有这种关系。在罪犯和社区控制的样本中(研究3a,n=166),精神病检查表修订(PCL-R)的较高分数与内隐的自我概念有关,即更少而不是更反社会,与外显自我概念相比,内隐自我概念表现出递增的有效性。罪犯子样本的重新测试(研究3b,n=47)没有证据表明时间稳定性或收敛有效性。因此,高度精神病患者的内隐自我概念似乎有所不同,取决于社会背景。未来的研究应该在不同的样本中复制这些结果,使用额外的外部关联。
