Boldness Explains a Key Difference Between Psychopathy and Antisocial Personality Disorder (2015, background): “…male gender, low socio-economic status, minority race, poor parent child relationship, antisocial peers, low intelligence and low academic achievement (Farrington, 2006), in addition to non-specific deficits in executive and emotional functioning (Marsh & Blair, 2008; Morgan & Lilienfeld, 2000).”
Fear and Loathing in Psychopaths: a Meta-Analytic Investigation of the Facial Affect Recognition Deficit (2011, positive): “Specifically, it is currently believed that the inability of psychopathic individuals to process fear expressions strips them of an important, empathyrelated protective factor against aggressive behavior (see Marsh & Blair, 2008).”
The Relationship Between Narcissistic Exploitativeness, Dispositional Empathy, and Emotion Recognition Abilities (2014, background): “Yet, contradictory findings exist for the relationship between antisocial personality disorder and emotion recognition ability, with a meta-analysis finding specific deficits in recognizing fearful facial expressions (Marsh and Blair 2008).”
Psychopathic Traits and Perceptions of Victim Vulnerability (2009, background): “Finally, a meta-analysis conducted by Marsh and Blair (2008) found that antisociality was associated with deficits in recognizing fear and sadness and that the deficit for fear was much stronger than for any of the other emotions.”
Mind Perception Is the Essence of Morality (2012, background): “Consistent with this idea, psychopaths have difficulty with both emotional empathy and emotional recognition (Blair, 2005 ; Mahmut, Homewood, & Stevenson, 2008 ; Marsh & Blair, 2008 ).”
Antisocial Personality Disorder: A Mentalizing Framework (2013, background): “Blair RJR: The emergence of psychopathy: implications for the neuropsychological approach to developmental disorders.”
Trait psychopathy and utilitarian moral judgement: The mediating role of action aversion (2015, background): “They are especially impaired on recognising the facial expression conveying fear (for meta-analytic evidence, see Marsh & Blair, 2008) which is one of the most important distress cues in aversive conditioning.”
