Purpose

To extend current knowledge on the role of emotion regulation in psychopathy, the present study sought to examine relationships between maladaptive (Attack Self, Attack Others, Avoidance, Withdrawal) and adaptive shame coping styles and psychopathic traits (interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, antisocial) in incarcerated violent offenders.

Methods

A sample of 266 men incarcerated for violent offenses in Italian prisons (Mage = 37.42, SD = 11.85) completed self-reported measures of shame coping styles, psychopathic traits, and emotion dysregulation. A path analysis was conducted to examine multivariate relationships between shame coping styles and psychopathic traits while controlling for levels of emotion dysregulation.

Results

Externalizing shame coping styles (Avoidance, Attack Others) were positively related to psychopathic traits across domains. In addition, internalizing shame coping styles were negatively related to the interpersonal and affective traits (Attack Self) and the antisocial traits of psychopathy (Withdrawal). Finally, affective traits of psychopathy had a negative association with adaptive shame coping style.

Conclusions

Findings highlight that, beyond general problems with regulating negative emotional states, psychopathic individuals may use maladaptive strategies to cope with shame-eliciting situations, which could at the same time protect the self from the painful experience of shame while contributing to externalizing behavior.

羞耻应对和精神病:男性监禁罪犯样本的复制和扩展

目的

为了扩展目前关于情绪调节在精神病中的作用的知识,本研究试图检查适应不良(攻击自我、攻击他人、回避、退缩)与适应性羞耻应对方式和精神病特征(人际关系、情感、生活方式、反社会)之间的关系在被监禁的暴力罪犯中。

方法

在意大利监狱中因暴力犯罪被监禁的 266 名男性样本(M年龄 = 37.42,SD  = 11.85)完成了自我报告的羞耻应对方式、精神病特征和情绪失调的测量。进行路径分析以检查羞耻应对方式和精神病特征之间的多变量关系,同时控制情绪失调的水平。

结果

外化羞耻应对方式(回避、攻击他人)与跨领域的精神病特征呈正相关。此外,内化的羞耻应对方式与人际关系和情感特征(攻击自我)以及精神病的反社会特征(退出)呈负相关。最后,精神病的情感特征与适应性羞耻应对方式呈负相关。

结论

研究结果强调,除了调节负面情绪状态的一般问题外,精神病患者可能会使用适应不良的策略来应对引起羞耻的情况,同时保护自己免受羞耻的痛苦体验,同时有助于外化行为。
