  • Title: Startle reflex modulation, affective ratings and autonomic reactivity in incarcerated Spanish psychopaths.
    Author: Pastor MC, Moltó J, Vila J, Lang PJ.
    Journal: Psychophysiology; 2003 Nov; 40(6):934-8. PubMed ID: 14986846.
    Abstract:
    Startle probe modulation during affective picture viewing was assessed in a Spanish prison population. As for North American inmates, psychopaths failed to display normal blink potentiation during unpleasant slides even though their evaluative judgments and autonomic reaction to affective stimuli paralleled those of other inmate and noninmate participants. The results suggest that diminished defense activation characterizes psychopaths despite cultural differences.
