Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluations of a Community-Based Intervention for Children and Youth
Effects of Intermale Status Challenge and Psychopathic Traits on Sexual Aggression
In the past five decades, a wealth of research has improved our understanding of the individual and sociocultural factors that contribute to sexual aggression perpetration. At the same time, epistemological differences in theoretical approaches to the subject (i.e., evolutionary, feminist) have stymied the study of the topic from multiple perspectives. Informed by feminist and evolutionary perspectives and research on individual differences, this…
The empirical clustering of crimes
Aggressiveness, inhibitory control, and emotional states
The current study examines the effects of trait aggressiveness, inhibitory control and emotional states on aggressive behavior in a laboratory paradigm. One hundred and fifty‐one adult participants took part (73 men, 71 women, and 7 nondisclosed). Event Related Potentials (ERPs) during a Go/No‐Go task were utilized to capture the extent of inhibitory processing, with a laboratory provocation paradigm used to assess aggression. Contrary to the exp…
Eyes of the beholders
Although aggression occurs across a range of disorders, associations between dimensions of psychopathology and self‐ and other‐directed aggression are not well understood. Investigating associations between psychopathology dimensions and aggression helps further understanding about the etiology of aggression, and ultimately, can inform intervention and prevention strategies. This study adopted a multi‐method approach to examine associations betwe…
One hundred years of EEG for brain and behaviour research
Contributions of Biobehavioral Sciences to the Study and Prevention of Firearm Violence
The study and prevention of firearm violence are clearly in the realm of psychology, yet the potential contributions of the biobehavioral sciences to the study of firearm violence are underexplored. Most biobehavioral research has identified individual-level vulnerabilities for violence more broadly, with less focus on how biological risk manifests in the context of firearm culture in particular. Reviewing the literature leads to two main insight…
The Intersection of Racism and Neuroscience Technology
Neuroscience evidence is appealing as a means to increase “objectivity” and reduce racial disparities in the criminal legal system. However, increasing reliance on defendants’ brain data may instead maintain racial disparities while rendering biases invisible. First, neurobiological data are not any more objective than traditional psychological measures. Second, the complexity and inaccessibility of neuroscience undermines public understanding of…
Cool under fire
OBJECTIVE: Compared with other jobs, the law enforcement profession is a high-stakes occupation that has the potential to greatly impact public safety, and officers must face daily dangers not experienced in other professions. Previous research indicates that many law enforcement officers exhibit varying degrees of psychopathic traits, which suggests that it may be useful to examine police officer performance, specifically proxies of excessive us…
Threat effects on cognitive systems
The biobehavioral study of aggression has implications for expanding our understanding of transdiagnostic processes that increase risk for disinhibited behaviors. Toward this end, our study tested tenets from the process model of aggression (Verona & Bresin, 2015). First, we expected that the predictability of threat would differentially alter cognitive networks, including attentional alerting and executive control. Second, we examined the modera…
Feeling Powerful” versus “Desiring Power”
Heterogeneity in the Continuity and Change of Early and Adult Risk Factor Profiles of Incarcerated Individuals
Considerable research has examined risk factors for offending, but far less is known on the constellations of co-occurring risk factors, such as adverse childhood experiences and low self-control, and the overall continuity in risk between childhood/adolescence and adulthood. Using data on 735 adults incarcerated in a county jail in Florida, this study examines the latent heterogeneity in risk profiles using risk factors prominent in early years …
Internalizing and externalizing symptoms and aggression and violence in men and women
Literature linking aggressive behavior across internalizing and externalizing disorders support the co‐occurrence of aggression and various mental health diagnoses. However, research has yet to examine relationships between aggression and dimensional psychopathology models that cut across diagnostic boundaries (e.g., internalizing, externalizing composites) and capture shared liability across common disorders. The role of gender has also been lar…
An Analysis of Monoamine-Related Genotypes and Childhood Trauma in Relation to Psychopathic Traits in Men and Women
Psychopathy is of great interest to criminologists, given its consistent association with violence, offending, and antisocial behavior. However, the etiology of psychopathy, particularly in terms of a gene × environment (G×E) interaction, has had little examination in the literature. One study has examined the direct and interactive effects of two genotypes (MAOA, 5-HTT) and childhood trauma on psychopathic traits using a high-risk forensic sampl…
Why do depressed people prefer sad music
One of the cardinal symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) is persistent sadness. Do people with MDD actually prefer sad stimuli, potentially perpetuating their depression? Millgram, Joormann, Huppert, and Tamir (2015) observed such preferences and interpreted them as reflecting a maladaptive emotion regulatory goal to upregulate sad feelings. We assessed emotional music choice among both those with MDD and healthy controls (HC), and assesse…
Psychopathic traits, gender, and motivations for sex
Evidence suggests that both men and women perpetrate sexual coercion. Psychological factors, including psychopathic traits and power motivations, have been proposed to characterize male‐perpetrated sexual coercion; however, it is unclear whether these factors play a similar role in female‐perpetrated coercion or whether other motivations (e.g., intimacy, affect regulation) should be considered. To improve our understanding in this area, the curre…
Interactions cognition-émotion et personnalité psychopathique
Les chercheurs ont depuis longtemps reconnu l’hétérogénéité des individus présentant des comportements antisociaux et violents. Or, l’étude de la personnalité psychopathique (ou psychopathie), par l’examen de ses différentes facettes, peut aider à mieux comprendre cette hétérogénéité. Plus particulièrement, la distinction entre les corrélats des traits interpersonnels et affectifs (Facteur 1) et ceux des traits impulsifs et antisociaux (Facteur 2…
Specific Patterns of Family Aggression and Adolescents’ Self- and Other-Directed Harm
Moderators and mediators of the stress-aggression relationship
The present study examined the effects of executive function (i.e., EF) and anger/hostility on the relationship between stress (across individual stress domains, as well as at the aggregate level) and aggression. Two independent groups of participants-a college sample and a low-income community sample-were administered a battery of self-report measures concerning the subjective experience of stress, aggressive behaviors, and feelings of state ang…
Gendered social forces
Increasing arrest rates for girls and women have been documented both nationally and internationally and have propelled the development of promising theories of female antisocial behavior and crime. Nonetheless, many psychological theories focus exclusively on individual characteristics of women that promote criminality. Fewer theorists incorporate the influence of institutional and social policy factors in models of female antisociality and crim…
Dimensions of Adolescent Psychopathology and Relationships to Suicide Risk Indicators
Examining psychopathic tendencies in adolescence from the perspective of personality theory
This study sought to clarify the personality correlates of psychopathic tendencies in adolescents using the Antisocial Process Screening Device [APSD; Frick and Hare, 2001] and a youth adapted version of the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire [Patrick et al., 2009, unpublished]. A combination of self‐ and parent‐reports on the APSD ( n =229) revealed that the three‐facet model of psychopathic tendencies in youth was characterized by a sim…
Emotional catharsis and aggression revisited
The authors tested two components of the catharsis theory of aggression: physiological tension reduction and aggressive drive reduction. On the basis of work in the stress-aggression literature, they also examined the moderating effect of impersonal stress exposure on cathartic reductions in heart rate following aggressive responding. Participants were instructed to administer nonaggressive (correct button) or aggressive (shock button) responses …
Gender differences in emotional and overt/covert aggressive responses to stress
We examined the role of stress exposure on gender differences in hostile (emotional and behavioral) reactions within the context of a laboratory paradigm. Aggressive behavior was indexed via the intensity (overt) and the duration (covert) of putative shocks delivered to a confederate. Half of the participants were exposed to a chronic stressor (high stress) and half were not (low stress). Participants' emotional responses were measured via self‐r…

Neuropsychological correlates of psychopathic traits in a non-incarcerated sample
Moderating effects of rumination and gender on context-specific aggression
Angry rumination has been linked previously to increased aggression. The effects of trait rumination on men and women's emotional and aggressive responses under different cueing contexts were examined. Aggressive behavior, not resulting from direct insult or provocation, was indexed by a laboratory paradigm that measured the intensity and the duration of shocks delivered to a putative “employee”. Frustration about, and cognitive focus on, the emp…

Gender differences in the negative affective priming of aggressive behavior
The negative affective priming of aggression was examined across different aversive contexts (general stress exposure and frustration) with a laboratory aggression paradigm that measured the intensity of shocks participants delivered to a putative employee. Participants' emotional responses were gauged via startle eyeblink reactions and self-report mood ratings. Aside from gender differences in overall aggression, men but not women exposed to gen…
