PhD at @Uni_of_Essex | studying empathy, psychopathy, psychophysiology and brain stimulation. Sometimes, I also have fun. Views are my own.

[Célia Camara @EmpathBooster]

So excited and inspired after two days of amazing presentations at #SNRAC2023
Sharing my winner poster right here (no bias)

[Psychopathy Society @SSSpsychopathy]

A systematic review & meta-analysis of functional neural correlates of psychopathy/callous-unemotional traits in adolescents. Critically, no studies reported separate results for minoritized racial/ethnic groups of adolescents. 1/2

PSYCHOPATHY.COMP is a treatment program for young offenders with psychopathic traits. This study provides evidence that the program improves emotion regulation--not only when youth are asked about it directly, but also when their physiological patterns are measured!

[Drew E. Winters, PhD. @drewinters]

Can functional brain patterns of resilience and vulnerability help us predict the severity of psychopathic traits in adolescents?

[Preventing Disorders of Aggression @PsychopathyIs]

Can callousness and unemotionality in children be treated?

@DrCamiloOrtiz and @dseshadri_ describe the latest research on treating this notoriously challenging group of children in our latest @PsychToday post. https://t.co/vUv37u1qgA

[Steven Gillespie @SMGillespie_]

There’s been a lot of debate about whether empathic problems in psychopathy expand to impairments in theory of mind. Our new #metaanalysis led by @zhaorong_song should help to resolve this #OA https://t.co/eNDubqfXm9 @AhmadAbuakel @rhiannoncor @NatashaDalyPsyc @LivUniIPH

[Abigail Marsh @aa_marsh]

I strongly dislike bullies in science--including bullies so wedded to their own theories (and legacies) they systematically thwart opposing ideas. We ALL know such people. Among other problems, they prevent progress, sometimes with tragic consequences: https://t.co/ntNKKUxd46

[Célia Camara @EmpathBooster]

Excited after all the incredible talks and presenters at #SSSPECE2023, and for the opportunity to present my poster. Looking forward to the next one already! 👏 @SSSpsychopathy @SSSPStudents

[SSSP Students @SSSPStudents]

Isabella Kahhale discusses how empathic accuracy moderates the relationship between unpredictability in childhood and adult antisocial behaviour

[British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience @bacn_uk]

Only a few days left to submit an abstract!

[Preventing Disorders of Aggression @PsychopathyIs]

"Is psychopathy a diagnosis?"

The answer is complicated, which makes advocating for mental health resources harder. Diagnoses like #ASPD inspired by and overlapping heavily with psychopathy are in @DSM5 and every prior DSM, though. Great review here: https://t.co/jaagyfBrRz

[Preventing Disorders of Aggression @PsychopathyIs]

An essential question for behavioral scientists, and a goal of @psychopathyis: better screening for violence risk factors like CU traits so at-risk children and adults can be directed to treatments before tragedies occur. @washingtonpost @meganranney https://t.co/SOSrJPMoGD

[SSSP Students @SSSPStudents]

Reminder that deadline to submit for our upcoming Early Career Event (May 10-12) is February 17! Early career researchers (post-baccs, graduate students, post docs) can submit either completed studies or proposals - see details here

@tandfonline Psychopathy and young adult offenders!

Patients with anxious #depression tend to have more severe depressive symptoms. Transcranial magnetic stimulation may offer some relief. https://t.co/xUM8arm3YL
