Among other telltale signs, HSPs exhibit a high measure of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), which is a personality
trait that has been described as having hypersensitivity to external stimuli, high
emotional reactivity, and greater depth of cognitive processing.
Temperament
traits are constitutionally - based individual differences in
emotional reactivity (speed and intensity of surgency and negative affectivity) and self - regulation of emotion, which includes strategies that modulate
reactivity, such as attentional control and the inhibition of dominant responses (Rothbart et al., 2006).
Several investigations found that conduct problems coupled with low levels of CU
traits are associated with increased amygdala
reactivity to fearful and angry facial expressions (Viding et al., 2012; Hyde et al., 2013; Blair et al., 2014; Sebastian et al., 2014), while those coupled with high levels of CU
traits are correlated with decreased amygdala
reactivity to
emotional stimuli, particularly fearful facial expressions (Odgers et al., 2008; Jones et al., 2009).
As for ODD, studies have shown, as early as preschool age, that, compared to children with low levels of CU
traits and ODD, those with higher levels of CU
traits have more severe ODD problems, showing deficits in processing
emotional stimuli, such as fearful faces, having lower levels of fearfulness and anxiety, manifesting insensitivity to punishment and displaying physiological hypoarousal, such as low stress reaction — lower heart rate at rest and during
reactivity to
emotional stimuli (Fanti, 2016).
Specific temperament
traits, defined as constitutionally based differences in
emotional reactivity and self - regulation [6], have been found to predict behavioral (externalizing) problems and
emotional (internalizing) problems in early childhood in several general population studies [7, 8, 9].
These biological influences suggest that a lack of
emotional and physiological
reactivity to fearful events could explain why children with CU
traits are less receptive to learning as a result of punitive measures, hindering normative social development, and predisposing these children to lifelong antisocial behavior [19].
Emotional reactivity and regulation in individuals with psychopathic
traits: Evidence for a disconnect between neurophysiology and self - report.
This
trait is defined as an enduring tendency to experience negative
emotional states and show
reactivity to stressors (McCrae and Costa, 1987; Terracciano et al., 2008; Trevino et al., 2013).
Children with CU
traits and EB have reduced
emotional and physiological
reactivity that is not evident in children with EB alone [12, 13].
The latter
traits, typically highly correlated, have been shown to correlate negatively with
trait mindfulness (Giluk, 2009) and are marked by negative
emotional reactivity to unpleasant life events (Goldberg, 1993) and neural
reactivity to negative stimuli (Canli et al., 2001).
