Abstract
Objective: Evidence suggests that individuals with antisocial personality disorder (APD) exhibit a less asymmetric pattern than healthy controls during auditory and visuospatial attention tasks characterized by a right hemispheric advantage; however, the association between attention asymmetry and symptomatology is not clear. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between visuospatial attention in the right and left hemi-spaces, and various dimensions of anger in individuals with APD.
