This brief highlights gender-aware patterns in emotional processing among incarcerated women with psychopathic traits, offering meaningful input for psychotherapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals.

Findings indicate that higher psychopathic propensities correspond with lower arousal to neutral images and a diminished sense of dominance when viewing unpleasant scenes, suggesting defensive emotional regulation rather than fearlessness. Observed blunting of distressing content and selective reactivity to threat-related cues (such as confinement) may be shaped by past experiences or “ghost memories,” with potential implications for how assessments and rehabilitation approaches are structured for female offenders.
