In the I of the beholder: an attempt to capture the implicit self-concept regarding psychopathy.

This article explores the implicit self-concept pertaining to psychopathy. Two online studies showed inconsistent results, with Study 1 ( = 243) suggesting that psychopathy is linked to an implicit self-concept marked by low empathy and Study 2 ( = 230) implying no such relationship. In a sample of offenders and community controls (Study 3a,  = 166), higher scores on the (PCL-R) were related to an implicit self-concept of being less rather than more antisocial, and the implicit self-concept showed incremental validity compared to the explicit self-concept.
