We assessed negative bias in Colombian young offenders towards affective deviants (those who violate emotional norms). Postulating that affective deviants elicit an “uncanny/creepy” feeling resembling that produced by psychopaths, we explored social judgments of affective deviants in individuals with callous-unemotional (CU) traits. 188 young offenders evaluated a target displaying congruent or incongruent affective displays in response to pictures eliciting positive/negative affect, depending on the condition. Affective deviants were rated as creepier and less trustworthy, and more likely to have bad moral character, than targets who displayed normative affect. Further, affective deviants who displayed positive affect in response to negative stimuli were rated as having worse moral character than those who displayed negative affect in response to positive stimuli. CU traits predicted lower trustworthiness judgments of targets in congruent conditions, but higher trustworthiness judgments of targets in incongruent conditions. CU traits also predicted higher desired social distance and creepiness judgments in congruent conditions. Creepiness ratings correlated with judgments of bad moral character, suggesting that this emotional response may be involved in moral evaluations of strangers. These findings indicate that deviant affective displays produce a variety of negative social judgments, with CU traits playing a role in these social cognitive heuristics.

我们评估了哥伦比亚年轻罪犯对情感异常者（那些违反情感规范的人）的负面偏见。假设情感异常者会引发一种类似于精神病患者产生的“不可思议/令人毛骨悚然”的感觉，我们探索了具有冷酷无情 (CU) 特征的个体的情感异常者的社会判断。188 名年轻罪犯根据情况评估了目标表现出一致或不一致的情感表现，以响应引起正面/负面影响的图片。与表现出规范影响的目标相比，情感异常者被评为更令人毛骨悚然、更不值得信赖，并且更有可能具有不良道德品质。更远，对消极刺激表现出积极情感的情感异常者比对积极刺激表现出消极情感的人具有更差的道德品质。CU特征预测一致条件下目标的可信度判断较低，但不一致条件下目标的可信度判断较高。CU 特征还预测了在一致条件下更高的期望社交距离和令人毛骨悚然的判断。令人毛骨悚然的评级与不良品德的判断相关，表明这种情绪反应可能与陌生人的道德评价有关。这些发现表明，越轨的情感表现会产生各种负面的社会判断，其中 CU 特征在这些社会认知启发式中发挥作用。CU特征预测一致条件下目标的可信度判断较低，但不一致条件下目标的可信度判断较高。CU 特征还预测了在一致条件下更高的期望社交距离和令人毛骨悚然的判断。令人毛骨悚然的评级与不良品德的判断相关，表明这种情绪反应可能与陌生人的道德评价有关。这些发现表明，越轨的情感表现会产生各种负面的社会判断，其中 CU 特征在这些社会认知启发式中发挥作用。CU特征预测一致条件下目标的可信度判断较低，但不一致条件下目标的可信度判断较高。CU 特征还预测了在一致条件下更高的期望社交距离和令人毛骨悚然的判断。令人毛骨悚然的评级与不良品德的判断相关，表明这种情绪反应可能与陌生人的道德评价有关。这些发现表明，越轨的情感表现会产生各种负面的社会判断，其中 CU 特征在这些社会认知启发式中发挥作用。令人毛骨悚然的评级与不良品德的判断相关，表明这种情绪反应可能与陌生人的道德评价有关。这些发现表明，越轨的情感表现会产生各种负面的社会判断，其中 CU 特征在这些社会认知启发式中发挥作用。令人毛骨悚然的评级与不良品德的判断相关，表明这种情绪反应可能与陌生人的道德评价有关。这些发现表明，越轨的情感表现会产生各种负面的社会判断，其中 CU 特征在这些社会认知启发式中发挥作用。
