This paper investigates whether there is a connection between psychopathy and
certain manifestations of social and economic behavior, measured in a lab-in-thefield experiment with prison inmates. In order to test this main hypothesis, we let
inmates play four games that have often been used to measure prosocial and
antisocial behavior in previous experimental economics literature. Specifically, they play
a prisoner’s dilemma, a trust game, the equality equivalence test that elicits distributional
preferences, and a corruption game. Psychopathy is measured by means of the
Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) questionnaire, which inmates filled
out after having made their decisions in the four games. We find that higher scores
in the LSRP are significantly correlated with anti-social behavior in the form of weaker
reciprocity, lower cooperation, lower benevolence and more bribe-oriented decisions
in the corruption game. In particular, not cooperating and bribe-maximizing decisions
are associated with significantly higher LSRP primary and LSRP secondary scores. Not
reciprocating is associated with higher LSRP primary and being spiteful with higher LSRP
secondary scores [-]
