Craig S. Neumann PhDDistinguished Research Professor, University of North Texas
Craig’s research is focused on the development, structure, and correlates of psychopathic traits, highlighting that psychopathic features can be identified early in development, are similar across a wide diversity of samples (offender, psychiatric, general community, & corporate), and have many of the same correlates. An essential finding that has emerged from this work is that all aspects of the disorder (e.g., deceitful, manipulative, remorseless, under-controlled, and reckless behavior) reflect fundamental dis-sociality. An important question is whether dissocial propensities are due to lack of affiliative motivation.
Some researchers assume that an affective deficit is the core to psychopathy, however overt dissocial behaviors covary genetically with and at times precede the affective features of psychopathy. Thus, it seems more reasonable to me to assume that there are interactive and reciprocal processes involved in the expression of the disorder. As such, a viable hypothesis is that exposure to and engagement in antisocial behavior may lead to a callousing and desensitizing of affective experience. More recently, he and his colleagues have been examining how disturbances in attachment and emotion regulation are linked with increased psychopathic traits, and these disturbances seem to be linked to reduced affiliation. -
