• A structural neural deficit in adolescents with conduct disorder and its association with lack of empathy (2007, background): “Such lack of empathy could result from a dysfunction of neural circuits involved in recognizing emotional expressions that indicate distress in other individuals (Blair, 2001, 2005; Davidson et al., 2000).”
• Introduction and validation of Psychopathic Personality Traits Scale (PPTS) in a large prison sample (2016, background): “Prominent conceptual models implicate structural and functional deficits in limbic brain systems particularly the amygdala (Blair, 2001; Debowska, Boduszek, Hyland, Goodson, 2014; Kiehl, 2006) as the neurological cause of the affective deficits in psychopathy.”
• Deficits in facial affect recognition among antisocial populations: a meta-analysis. (2008, background): “The Integrated Emotion Systems model provides one explanation for this process, specifying that distress cues are social reinforcers that enable conspecifics to convey the societal valence of objects and behaviors to the developing individual (Blair, 2001; 2005).”
• Offending and attachment: The relationship between interpersonal awareness and offending in a prison population with psychiatric disorder (2004, background): “Thus individuals constitutionally poor at recognizing mental states in others through facial expressions or vocal tones may not fully acquire mentalization and thus inhibit their natural violence (Blair, 2001; Blair & Cipolotti, 2000; Blair, Morris, Frith, Perrett, & Dolan, 1999).”
• Evidence for substantial genetic risk for psychopathy in 7-year-olds. (2005, background): “As such, individuals with psychopathy represent a subset of those who would meet diagnostic criteria for Conduct Disorder (CD) in childhood or Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) in adulthood (Blair, 2001).”
• Five-Factor Model personality traits and executive functioning among older adults (2010, result): “with self-reported personality are consistent with prior research demonstrating an association between poorer EF and higher levels of aggression across life span (Blair, 2001; Brower & Price, 2001; Giancola, Moss, Martin, Kirisci, & Tarter, 1996; Suchy & Bolger, 1999).”
• Extreme managers, extreme workplaces: Capitalism, organizations and corporate psychopaths (2015, background): “Some psychopaths are prone to instrumental violence, which is violence with a further purpose, such as robbery (Blair, 2001), in order to get what they want, and these violent criminal psychopaths tend to end up in prison (Hare, 1994).”
