【 摘 要 】

The present study investigated whether a negative relation between psychopathyand ability emotional intelligence (AEI) exists. One hundred fifty one undergraduatestudent participants (72 men and 79 women) completed the Mayer-Salovey-CarusoEmotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-III (SRP-III),and a brief demographic questionnaire. After controlling for gender, an overallassociation of psychopathy and AEI was found, r = .-22, p < .01. Furthermore,exploratory analyses examining MSCEIT subscales showed that this negative associationwas mainly driven by deficits found for the faces, sensations, and emotional managementsubscale. The present findings suggest a deficit in emotional processing in higherpsychopathy individuals is linked to emotional stimuli and contextual cues.
