Does Affective Theory of Mind Contribute to Proactive Aggression in Boys with Conduct Problems and Psychopathic Tendencies? Adolescent psychopathic tendencies are associated with phenotypic increases in proactive aggression. However, the extent to which an understanding of others' affective mental states, or affective theory of mind (ToM), contributes to proactive aggression remains unknown. We examined how performance on a well-known test of affective ToM, based on cropped images of the eye region, contributes to reactive and proactive types of aggression in a mixed ethnicity sample of 80 incarcerated adolescent boys. A hierarchical regression model showed that affective ToM predicted proactive aggression over and above the influence of clinically rated psychopathic tendencies. Importantly

Autistic traits and positive psychotic experiences modulate the association of psychopathic tendencies with theory of mind in opposite directions Various clinical disorders, including psychopathy, and autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders, have been linked with impairments in Theory of Mind (ToM). However, although these conditions can co-occur in the same individual, the effect of their inter-play on ToM abilities has not been investigated. Here we assessed ToM abilities in 55 healthy adults while performing a naturalistic ToM task, requiring participants to watch a short film and judge the actors' mental states. The results reveal for the first time that autistic traits and positive psychotic experiences interact with psychopathic tendencies in opposite directions to predict ToM

Schizotypy and psychopathic tendencies interactively improve misattribution of affect in boys with conduct problems. Psychopathic tendencies are associated with difficulties in affective theory of mind (ToM), that is, in recognizing others affective mental states. In clinical and non-clinical adult samples, it has been shown that where psychopathic tendencies co-occur with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, the impairing effects of psychopathic tendencies on ToM are attenuated. These effects are yet to be examined in adolescents. We examined if the impairing effect of psychopathic tendencies on affective ToM was attenuated with increasing severity of schizotypal personality disorder (PD) in a sample of 80 incarcerated adolescent boys. We showed that the impairing effect of psychopathic tendencies

, specifically an inability to automatically take another person's perspective. Unlike prior studies that rely solely on controlled theory of mind (ToM) tasks, we employ a task that taps into automatic ToM processing. Controlled ToM processes are engaged when an individual intentionally considers the perspective of another person, whereas automatic ToM processes are engaged when an individual unintentionally Psychopaths fail to automatically take the perspective of others Psychopathic individuals display a chronic and flagrant disregard for the welfare of others through their callous and manipulative behavior. Historically, this behavior is thought to result from deficits in social-affective processing. However, we show that at least some psychopathic behaviors may be rooted in a cognitive deficit

I agree with JF that the goal of this blog thread is not to spread "political speech" as such but to present points of discussion which will lead to the understanding and preservation of patient dignity. What I want you all to know is that when I was in active medical practice, every time I performed a male or female genital, rectal (or even female breast exam) I had in my mind

Supposedly they told all of the risks to a man who was drugged out of his mind on fentanyl & that man made a well thought out decision. So again, while the above advice is good advice it only works when and power over others to lure sociopaths into committing crimes, and I’d posit that at least 3/4s of all makemsick providers are sociopaths, some well on their way to the honor of being a true psychopath. That has been my experience with the industry. So, at Volume 102, what have we learned about the makemsick industry? Male customers have no rights to dignity or respect. EBM (Evidence Based Medicine
