Traditional conceptualizations of psychopathy highlight the importance of affective features as they relate to social deviance; however, little empirical research has actually investigated specific roles of emotion and emotion processing with respect to antisocial conduct. Antisocial personality disorder (APD), prevalent in forensic populations, is commonly associated with psychopathy despite the notable omission of such core affective features in its diagnosis. In this paper, we review the empirical literature on the contribution of emotion to psychopathy and APD, highlighting in particular research on emotion processing and various facets of emotional expression, including empathy and alexithymia. Research findings are discussed on gender differences in emotional functioning and their likely effects on the assessment of psychopathy and APD. Given the known gender differences in the expressions of emotion, the article concludes with recommendations to bridge research for different offender groups, including psychopathy and APD.

情绪对精神病和反社会人格障碍的贡献中的性别差异。

传统的精神病概念化强调了情感特征与社交偏差有关的重要性。然而，很少有实证研究实际上研究了情绪和情绪处理在反社会行为方面的特定作用。法医人群中普遍存在的反社会人格障碍（APD）通常与精神病有关，尽管在诊断中明显省略了此类核心情感特征。在本文中，我们回顾了有关情绪对精神病和APD贡献的经验文献，特别着重于情绪加工和情绪表达的各个方面（包括移情和残障）的研究。讨论了有关情绪功能中的性别差异及其对心理疾病和APD评估的可能影响的研究结果。
