An association between antisocial and histrionic personality disorders has been examined in familial and intrapersonal research. This association was explored within the framework of Gorenstein and Newman's (1980) model of disinhibitory psychopathology. Two studies were proposed to examine the association of these personality disorder features, with the second study contingent on the results of the first experiment. The first study investigated whether the response perseveration phenomenon would generalize to college students identified with antisocial personality features using a card playing task developed by Newman, Patterson, and Kosson (1987). Results indicated that the response perseveration phenomenon did not generalize, however, college females identified with antisocial features performed in a similar fashion on the card playing task as Newman et al.'s psychopathic subjects. The evidence gathered from this study suggest that whether the response perseveration phenomenon generalizes to antisocial feature college women requires further investigation. / Department of Psychological Science
