A new study in Cognition and Emotion examined empathy during real‑time conversations among 82 New Zealand participants. While individuals with psychopathic traits could accurately identify partners' emotions, they showed reduced affective sharing and lower physiological synchrony, especially those high in self‑centered impulsivity and coldheartedness. The research contrasted familiar pairs with strangers, revealing that friends achieve higher empathic accuracy. These findings suggest that psychopathy impairs emotional resonance rather than cognitive recognition of feelings.
