摘要

Psychopathic murderers are often portrayed as cold-blooded, emotionless and lacking in remorse, but they are also adept at lying and at feigning the emotions in which they are deficient. Here we adapt a test known as the Implicit Association Test (IAT), which was previously used to assess concealed prejudices, to show that psychopathic murderers have abnormal cognitive associations regarding violence, which may underpin their actions. Such implicit measures may provide us with an important insight into the criminal mind. The ability of psychopaths to con, lie and manipulate means that their potential danger to others may not be appreciated by criminal-justice agencies, that their response to clinical assessment is often rigged, and that researchers are blinded to underlying motives (Fig. 1). Faced with the problem of detecting socially stigmatic beliefs, psychologists have developed tasks that measure these attitudes implicitly. The IAT has successfully quantified beliefs that people may wish to disguise, such as negative views about racial groups, homosexuality or obesity. We have adapted the IAT to reveal implicit beliefs about violence in psychopathic murderers.
