Psychopathy, alexithymia and affect in female offendersLouth, Shirley May 11 1900 (has links)
Psychopathy and alexithymia are disorders with many
conceptual similarities. For example, Factor 1
of the
Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1991) contains
items like shallow affect and lack of empathy, which seem to map
on to the construct of alexithymia. Additionally, both
psychopaths and alexithymics display striking differences from
others in their use of language, especially affective language.
The two areas of interest in the present study were (a)
occurrence and co—occurrence of psychopathy and alexithymia in a
sample of female inmates, and (b) the relationship between
affective language and these two disorders.
Psychopathy and alexithymia were assessed in 37 women
offenders incarcerated in a
Burnaby Correctional Centre, using
the PCL-R
and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (
TAS; Taylor, Ryan &
Bagby, 1985). Each subject was presented with a
short written
scenario designed to elicit an emotional response, and asked to
describe the feelings of the characters in the story. Their taped
responses were analyzed for measures of affect.
Base rates of both disorders were comparable to those in
similar samples, (
30% of the inmates were diagnosed as
psychopathic; 33% as alexithymic) but the coxnorbidity rate was
only 8%. There was a
significant correlation between alexithymia
scores and PCL—R
Factor 2
scores —
the factor assessing
antisocial behaviour. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the TAS and PCL-R were both predictive of violence. This
relationship between the PCL-R and violence is well
substantiated; that the TAS also predicts violence is a newer
finding.
Alexithymics spoke more slowly, used fewer total words
overall and fewer affective words, and displayed less emotion in
their voices than did nonalexithymics. Psychopaths could not be
identified by any vocal measures except a slight tendency to
speak faster than nonpsychopaths. Although both disorders are
characterized’ by affective impoverishment, the verbal expressions
of affect were very different in psychopaths and alexithymics.
The psychopaths were adept at convincing raters of an emotional
investment they did not feel; alexithymics could not disguise
their lack of appropriate emotional response.

The Association between Alexithymia, Impulsivity and Negative Affect in Emotional and External EatingPike, Christina January 2013 (has links)
Emotional and external eating are common eating behaviours in the general population, while not disordered eating per se they have been linked to overeating, obesity and problems engaging in health behaviours. Theories of emotional and external eating have been around for decades however little is known of the factors that contribute to these eating behaviours. Emotional and external eating tend to co-occur, and high correlations between them have been reported. Some theorists have argued that they are not distinct constructs. The current study aimed to provide further understanding on the nature and distinction between emotional and external eating in a non-clinical sample. The associations of impulsivity, alexithymia and negative affect in emotional and external eating were investigated, utilising a cross-sectional design. These variables have been shown to be related to eating behaviour in clinical samples however there has been limited research in non-clinical samples. Emotional eating was positively associated with alexithymia, negative affect and lack of perseverance, the relationship with urgency was less clear. External eating was indirectly associated with depression through the mediating variable urgency. The results indicated that emotional and external eating do show some similarities in the variables associated with them, however, the pattern of associations were different for the two eating behaviours. It appears from this study that the theoretical distinction between emotional eating and external eating is warranted with emotional eating appearing to be directly associated with problems with affect regulation whereas external eating is indirectly associated with negative affect.
