NCT ID: NCT06028620 Completed - Clinical trials for Psychopathic Personality Trait

Can Psychopathy be Prevented? Clinical, Neuroimaging and Genetic Data

Start date: February 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial was to learn about the effect of maltreatment on psychological and brain characteristics in a group of children. The main question it aims to answer are: which are the clinical characteristics of maltreated children before and after a psychological intervention? what changes in brain emotional processing after a psychological intervention? and what is the effect of serotonin transporter variants after a psychological therapy? Participants were assessed before and after intervention with: - clinical measures of anxiety, depression post-traumatic stress and callous-unemotional traits - functional neuroimaging techniques to measure brain activity. - A sample of buccal epithelial cells to obtain information on serotonin transporter. Researchers will compare maltreated children with a group on non-maltreated children to see if there are differences on psychological characteristics and on brain activity before treatment.

NCT ID: NCT03971682 Completed - Conduct Disorder Clinical Trials

The Efficacy of a Compassion Focused Therapy-based Intervention in Detained Youth

PSYCOMP
Start date: March 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This non-randomized controlled trial with a control group aimed to assess the efficacy of a 20-session individualized Compassion Focused Therapy-based intervention, the PSYCHOPATHY.COMP, in reducing psychopathic traits (primary outcomes), aggression, shame, emotion regulation problems, and fears of compassion, as well as in increasing social safeness, self-compassion, and compassion towards others (secondary outcomes). The PSYCHOPATHY.COMP's impact on psychophysiological (i.e., Heart Rate/Heart Rate Variability) and behavioral indicators (i.e., number disciplinary infractions and number of days in punishment) were also tested, in order to ascertain if changes observed in self-report questionnaires were reflected in more adjusted psychophysiological and behavioral patterns. Mental Health disorders, as well as the number of Conduct Disorder criteria, were also tested as moderators of treatment effects.

NCT ID: NCT03834467 Completed - Clinical trials for Psychopathic Personality Trait

Testing a Shortened Version of the AlAn's Game

Start date: May 8, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It has been demonstrated that behavior on the AlAn's (altruism-antisocial) game is related to Moral Elevation response. Moral Elevation is a positive response to another's act of generosity "of charity, gratitude, fidelity, generosity or any other strong display of virtue". The constellation of emotional, physical and psychological aspects of a Moral Elevation response have been well described. Moral Elevation can be elicited with stimulus stories or videos and measured with self-report questionnaires. The experience of Moral Elevation is associated with subsequent prosocial and affiliative behaviors. Additionally, the research has linked Moral Elevation response with behavior on the AlAn's game. This study will test whether behavior on the AlAn's Short Game v.2 is related to Moral Elevation response and extend prior work by testing whether viewing the Moral Elevation stimulus prior to playing the AlAn's Short Game v.2 is associated with differences in game behavior. The study will also test whether psychopathic traits will correlate with game behavior.
