Neural response in individuals with different levels of psychopathy (low, L; medium, M; and high, H) while they viewed morally‐laden actions (left) and when they were requested to identify the emotional states of the victims/recipients or perpetrator of the behavior (right). Neural responses to harmful actions compared to helpful actions, modeled to the onset of the clips, suprathreshold voxels (P < 0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons) are displayed on 4 anatomical sections. There was significantly reduced activity in the rTPJ, dmPFC, dlPFC, temporal pole, precentral gyrus, and ACC in individuals with high levels of psychopathy while they viewed morally laden scenarios. Conversely, when identifying the emotional states of the recipient/victim of an action, participants with high scores on PCL‐R Factor 1, showed greater hemodynamic response in the rTPJ and dmPFC.
