Sentences with phrase «affective empathy deficits»

Indeed, we acknowledge that the present findings may be considered surprising given previous work showing that empathy deficits are more pronounced in those with CD and elevated CU traits than those with lower levels of CU traits (Jones et al. 2010; Schwenck et al. 2012) and theories predicting that affective empathy deficits are uniquely related to CU traits (Blair 2005, 2013).

Participants with CD also showed affective empathy deficits for sadness, fear, and disgust relative to controls, all ps < 0.010, rs ≥ 0.33, whereas the CD / CU + and CD / CU - subgroups did not differ in affective empathy.

These results extend prior research by demonstrating affective empathy and emotion recognition deficits in adolescents with CD using a more ecologically - valid task, and challenge the view that affective empathy deficits are specific to CD / CU +.

Not exact matches

Analyses of the PCL - R reveal that it comprises at least three overlapping, but separable, constellations of traits: interpersonal deficits (such as grandiosity, arrogance and deceitfulness), affective deficits (lack of guilt and empathy, for instance), and impulsive and criminal behaviors (including sexual promiscuity and stealing).

First, CU traits are related to empathy deficits, particularly impairments in sharing in another's feelings (i.e., affective empathy)[23, 24].

However, contrary to models positing deficits in affective empathy in individuals with DBDs and high levels of callous - unemotional (CU) traits (an index of the affective and interpersonal aspects of psychopathy that can be assessed in children; Blair 2013), affective empathy is reported to be unrelated to levels of CU traits (e.g., Anastassiou - Hadjicharalambous and Warden 2008; Cheng et al. 2012).

There is increasing evidence that individuals with Disruptive Behavior Disorders (DBDs) such as Conduct Disorder (CD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), show deficits in emotion recognition (Fairchild et al. 2009; Short et al. 2016) and affective empathy (de Wied et al. 2005; de Wied et al. 2012).

To address the second aim of the study, we directly compared the CD / CU + and CD / CU - subgroups in terms of EA, emotion recognition, and affective empathy, to examine whether empathy deficits were more pronounced, or only present, in the CD / CU + subgroup.

On the other hand, these findings are consistent with previous research showing that the antisocial / lifestyle facet of psychopathy is more strongly related to deficits in empathy than the affective facet (Brook and Kosson 2013) and prior work with children with DBDs showing impaired empathy in both CU + and CU - subgroups relative to TD children (de Wied et al. 2012).

This study extends previous research on empathy by demonstrating that, even when using rich and multi-sensory stimulus materials that are more ecologically - valid than those used in previous studies, male adolescents with CD still display significant impairments in emotion recognition and affective empathy — these deficits were particularly evident for sadness, fear, and disgust.
