Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study by Williamson, Harpur, and Hare (1991) found that nonpsychopaths identified emotional words faster than psychopaths, indicating that psychopaths have less sensitivity to emotional cues. Additionally, they also found that nonpsychopaths identified emotional words faster than neutral words, which supports the connection between emotional processing and attentional focus. Therefore, the correct answer is both c and d.
