Psychopathy and assumptions about vulnerability to exploitation
2021, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :Some research suggests that this is the case. For example, psychopathic individuals appear to understand what others are feeling and their motivations (Blair et al., 1995), suggesting that they are not deficient in their understanding of others. In addition, they are less responsive to the distress signals of others (Blair et al., 1997), which would help to make exploitation easier.
Social cognition in Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy
2016, Epilepsy ResearchCitation Excerpt :The Emotion Attribution Task addresses the ability to attribute emotions to others in appropriate contexts (Blair and Cipolotti, 2000). In the modified Italian version (Prior et al., 2003) of the Emotion Attribution Task proposed by Blair and colleagues (Blair et al., 1995), patients were administered nine stories addressing three primary emotions (happiness, anger and disgust; three stories for each emotion). Four scores were calculated: a total score (range 0–9) and one score for each emotion type (range 0–3).
Feelings of shame, embarrassment and guilt and their neural correlates: A systematic review
2016, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :It has been shown in recent researches that people suffering from depression are more like to experience self-blaming emotions than emotions associated with blaming others, suggesting a more specific negative emotion tendency directed towards the self (Green et al., 2013b; Zahn et al., 2015). Furthermore, this relationship between the experience of self-blaming emotions such as shame/guilt and depression (Andrews, 1995; Andrews et al., 2002; Kim et al., 2011) is not specific and extends to other mental disorders, including anxiety disorders such as OCD (Basile et al., 2014; D’Olimpio and Mancini, 2014; Fergus et al., 2010; Hennig-Fast et al., 2015; Magee and Teachman, 2007; Mancini and Gangemi, 2011) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Amstadter and Vernon, 2008), eating disorders (ED) (Doran and Lewis, 2012; Goss and Allan, 2009; Troop et al., 2008) and personality disorders such as psychopathy (Blair et al., 1995; Holmqvist, 2008) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) (Lansky, 2003; Rüsch et al., 2007). Studying the neural correlates of self-blaming emotions across a range of patient populations is likely to provide a better understanding of the development of mental disorders.
