  • Electrodermal reactivity in an aversive countdown task

    Open AccessBridget M Bertoldi, Christopher J Patrick et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Our finding of an inverse relationship between SC reactivity and parent-rated boldness at W1 corroborates evidence from prior adult research and points to low fear (threat sensitivity) as the basis of deficient stress responding in psychopathy. The finding of contrasting predictive relations for W1 SC reactivity and W1 parent-rated boldness with ASB at W3 suggests differing roles for elements of threat sensitivity tapped by each (e.g., low anxiou…

  • Peter Nathan (1935–2016)

    Don C FowlesARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2016

    Presents an obituary for Peter Nathan who died suddenly on May 8, 2016, in Iowa City, Iowa.

He made seminal contributions to diagnostic decision making, syndromal assessment, and science-based t…

  • Dual temperamental risk factors for psychopathic personality

    Lilian Dindo, Don C Fowles et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2011Cited by: 2

    Psychopathy is a personality disorder consisting of dysfunctional affective interpersonal features (Factor 1) and impulsive-antisocial behavior (Factor 2) that exhibit differential associations with palmar skin conductance (SC) reactivity. The goal of this study was to determine whether the distinct SC reactivity observed in incarcerated psychopaths generalizes to university students who score high on personality dimensions hypothesized to be the…

  • The Three Arousal Model

    Open AccessDon C FowlesARTICLEPsychophysiology1980

    Gray's two‐factor learning theory postulates a behavioral activation system (BAS), a behavioral inhibition system (BIS), and a nonspecific arousal system receiving excitatory inputs from both the BAS and the BIS. The BAS initiates behavior in response to conditioned stimuli for reward (approach) or for relieving nonpunishment (active avoidance). The BIS, which is viewed as an anxiety system, inhibits behavior in response to cues for punishment (p…
