Non-Linear Heart Rate Variability: Uncovering Gender-Specific Insights into Psychopathic Traits

Poster Session II

Keyword: Psychopathology

Abstract: This study measured cardiac complexity in relation to psychopathic personality traits and investigated potential sex differences in neurophysiological functioning between psychopathy variants through linear and non-linear analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). Results suggest that nonlinear HRV measures show gender-specific correlation with psychopathic traits.
