abstract = {Psychopathic personality traits such as callousness,
manipulativeness, and lack of empathy are continuously
distributed in non-institutionalized populations. Here, we
show that brain responses to emotional movies in healthy
females vary as a function of primary (PP) and secondary
psychopathy (SP) traits. Healthy female volunteers (n=50)
with variable scorings in Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy
Scale watched a set of emotional movie clips (n=39) during
functional magnetic resonance imaging of brain activity. We
found that participants low on primary and secondary
psychopathy traits showed higher cortical and subcortical
activity when watching emotional movies, what possibly
indicates the somatosensory simulation and empathizing with
the emotions of movie characters. On the other hand, the
individuals with high primary and secondary psychopathy
traits presented a lack of vicarious engagement during
watching movies and they manifested brainstem-based
heightened response towards thread-related stimuli, which
could indicate potent autonomic reactivity. Overall, our
results indicate that variability in psychopathic traits in
the general population is manifested as differential neural
responses to emotional signals, and confirm previous
findings of there being separate PP and SP personality
characteristics due to the dissociable brain activity
patterns while viewing emotional movies.},
