"[[A study of anxiety in the sociopathic personality]]" is a study by [[David T. Lykken]] conducted in 1955. In a series of laboratory tests, Lykken found that [[sociopath]]s showed less [[emotion]]ality in a [[classical conditioning]]. The study was first published in the [[Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology]], 55, 6–10. Lykken, D. T. (1957).
Abstract
As compared with 15 normal controls, "'primary' sociopaths showed significantly less '[[anxiety]]' on a questionnaire device, less [[GSR reactivity]] to a 'conditioned' stimulus associated with [[shock]], and less avoidance of punished responses on a test of avoidance learning. The 'neurotic' sociopaths scored significantly higher on the [[Taylor Anxiety Scale]] and on the [[Welsh Anxiety Index]]."
