Summary
This chapter focuses on brain and behavioural correlates of psychopathy and antisocial personality that inform us about their motivational and emotional underpinnings. Findings related to the three components of the triarchic psychopathy model – boldness, meanness and disinhibition – are reviewed. An important distinction is drawn between ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ variants of psychopathy, which should not be viewed as a unitary construct.
