Abstract
Research has shown that childhood maltreatment may contribute to the development of personality pathology, including psychopathy. Resilience may reduce such risks. Our research found that childhood maltreatment predicts stress immunity, a component of psychopathy. Additionally, resilience moderates the relationship between childhood emotional neglect and stress immunity.
