Abstract
Psychopathy, marked by callous-unemotional traits and antisocial behavior, includes reduced physiological stress reactivity, possibly mediating blunted affect and risky decision making. Divergent findings regarding anxiety in psychopathy also have largely gone unresolved. With the use of biological stress manipulation (“clamping”), we test these associations in the subjective experience of stress.
