  • The effect of fear-inducing stimuli on risk taking in people with psychopathic traits

    Angela Book, Angela S Book et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2022

    Research suggests that people with psychopathic traits experience fear-inducing stimuli differently from others, seeming to interpret fear as more positive and less negative. We expected that this reaction, termed fear enjoyment, would impact the effect of fear-inducing stimuli on self-report risk-taking behaviour.

In Study 1, we rated content themes in the fantasy narratives of 195 men and women recruited at a Canadian university. In Study 2, we administered a sexual fantasy questionnaire to a sample of 355 Canadian undergraduate students. In Study 1, we found that psychopathic traits predicted themes of anonymous, uncommitted, and nonromantic sexual activity …

  • Associations between the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory and the Personality Assessment Screener in a Nonclinical Sample

    Open AccessRonald R Holden, Louise Wasylkiw et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2001

    Associations between two screening inventories of psychopathology were investigated using a sample of 156 first-year undergraduates. Analyses supported the reliability and validity of all Holden Psychological Screening Inventory scales, but only of some of the Personality Assessment Screener scales. Orthogonal dimensions of Depression, General Distress, and Antisocial Tendencies represented the common latent structure of the two inventories
