Abstract

Despite evidence that associations between autonomic nervous system (ANS) responsivity and psychopathic traits vary across stress task only a single study has systematically assessed cross-task differences in associations. To advance this limited literature the current study randomized subjects into either a noise blast (countdown) task or a social stressor speech task (SSST). Analyses tested associations between ANS (heart rate, skin conductance) and measures of psychopathic traits (Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-III (SRP-III), Inventory of Callous-Unemotional (ICU) traits, Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP), Sensation Seeking Scale– Form V (SSS-V)). Baseline skin conductance was negatively associated with Erratic Lifestyle (SRP-III) and SSS-V total scores. Heart rate during the SSST had a negative association with Callous Affect (SRP). During the countdown task there was a negative association between skin conductance in anticipation of signaled noise blasts and Interpersonal Manipulation (SRP), and a negative association between change in heart rate after noise blasts in unsignaled trials and Erratic Lifestyle (SRP) and Factor 2 Psychopathy (LSRP).

1
In the current work we follow the disaggregation of SC measures adopted by de Looff et al. (2021) who disaggregate SC measures into measures of skin conductance response (SCR) and measures of skin conductance level (SCL). Measures of SCR refer to the number increases in skin conductivity over a given time-period that are in excess of a given threshold (commonly 0.05 microsiemens in amplitude). In contrast, SCL refers to the average level of skin conductance during a given time-period. Results for associations between SC and psychopathic traits reported here are based on a measure of SCL.

Results for the first two experimental paradigms (concealed information and picture viewing) were not presented and were described by the authors as “somewhat complex and, for that reason, were not as clearly of theoretical relevance” (Dindo & Fowles, 2011, p. 560).

We recognize the SSS-V is not typically conceptualized as a measure of psychopathic traits. However, sensation seeking is commonly framed as element of Factor 2 psychopathy and measures of psychopathy, including those used here, often include items indexing sensation seeking. Additionally including the SSS-V allows us to replicate associations between the SSS-V and ANS activity reported in prior work on the role of ANS activity in psychopathy (Kavish et al., 2019).

Due to researcher error, two items “Love is overrated” and “I would be upset if my success came at someone else’s expense” were omitted from surveys distributed to 43% of the sample. To ensure consistent item content across all subjects these items were dropped from the estimation of scale scores.
