Abstract

Abstract Objective The main aim was to investigate whether forensic psychiatric inpatients can be distinguished from prisoners and non-offender healthy controls based on their performance on neurocognitive tasks measuring behavioral inhibition and behavioral activation. Method This study used preexisting data from 120 male forensic psychiatric inpatients, 60 male prisoners and 66 male non-offender healthy controls. A multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to study the links between our outcome measures and group membership. To this end, we used outcome measures from a Continuous Performance task, an emotional Stroop task and behavioral inhibition system and behavioral activation system (BIS/BAS) questionnaire. Results BIS/BAS scores had discriminatory power for distinguishing forensic psychiatric inpatients from prisoners. Measures from the Continuous Performance task and the emotional Stroop task did not significantly differ between the offender groups. Conclusions BIS/BAS are relevant concepts in the context of criminal behavior and could play a role in the development of new approaches to subtype offender populations, because they seem useful for differentiating forensic psychiatric inpatients from prisoners. For clinical practice, our results suggest that these concepts should be routinely assessed as part of neuropsychological testing in forensic psychiatric settings.
罪犯和非罪犯的行为抑制和激活系统因素
摘要目的研究是否可以根据住院法医精神病患者在测量行为抑制和行为激活的神经认知任务中的表现,将其与囚犯和非罪犯的健康对照区分开来。方法本研究采用120名男性法医精神病住院患者、60名男性囚犯和66名男性非罪犯健康对照的已有数据。使用多项逻辑回归分析来研究我们的结果测量与小组成员之间的联系。为此,我们使用了连续表现任务、情绪Stroop任务、行为抑制系统和行为激活系统(BIS/BAS)问卷的结果测量。结果BIS/BAS评分对司法精神病住院患者和罪犯具有一定的鉴别能力。连续表现任务和情绪Stroop任务的测量结果在犯罪组之间没有显著差异。结论BIS/BAS是犯罪行为背景下的相关概念,可以在开发针对亚型罪犯群体的新方法中发挥作用,因为它们似乎有助于区分法医精神病住院患者和囚犯。对于临床实践,我们的研究结果表明,这些概念应该作为法医精神病学环境中神经心理学测试的一部分进行常规评估。
