The affective and cognitive empathic nature of the dark triad of personality. (2012, result): “Additionally, primary psychopaths experienced positive affect towards angry and fearful expressions, the latter of which had also been found in other studies (Blair et al., 2004; Montagne et al., 2005).”
Deficits in facial affect recognition among antisocial populations: a meta-analysis. (2008, background): “The remaining studies (Dadds et al. 2006;Kropp & Haynes, 1987;Montagne et al. 2005;Walker, 1981) used other validated stimulus sets.”
Empathy deficits and trait emotional intelligence in psychopathy and Machiavellianism (2009, background): “Past research indicates that clinical psychopathic individuals show a selective empathic deficit in that they are impaired in the recognition of sad and fearful facial expressions (e.g., Montagne et al., 2005).”
Psychopathic Traits and Perceptions of Victim Vulnerability (2009, background): “Other research has discovered deficits only for fearful facial expressions (e.g., R. J. R. Blair et al., 2004; Montagne et al., 2005) or sadness (Dolan & Fullam, 2006; Hastings et al., 2008).”
Fear and Loathing in Psychopaths: a Meta-Analytic Investigation of the Facial Affect Recognition Deficit (2011, unknown): “This finding also has been supported in the literature, with a study by Montagne et al. (2005) reporting that psychopathy was associated with impaired processing of ambiguous fearful faces, whereas deficits for nonambiguous expressions were less apparent.”
