摘要
This article reviews the important emotional correlates of chronic antisocial behavior from the standpoint of primary and secondary psychopathy. Primary psychopaths exhibit a conspicuous lack of empathetic emotions and secondary psychopaths exhibit a conspicuous excess of inappropriate emotions. The article points out the relationship between passive-avoidance learning deficits and primary psychopathy and between central nervous system serotonergic dysfunction and primary and secondary psychopathy.
