Abstract
The aims of this study were to examine: (a) whether men with intellectual disabilities who have a history of criminal offending attend to affective pictorial stimuli in a biased manner, and (b) whether there is a relationship between an affective attentional bias and offence-supportive cognitions, empathy, and moral development. Forty-six men with intellectual disabilities who had a documented history of criminal offending, and 51 men who also had intellectual disabilities, but no such history, were recruited and asked to complete a computer-based dot-probe task using affective pictorial stimuli with randomisation, along with measures of distorted cognitions, empathy, and moral development. Those with a history of criminal offending endorsed significantly more offence-supportive cognitions, had significantly lower general empathy, and more “mature” moral development, as well as a significant attentional bias toward affective pictorial stimuli. Attentional bias significantly predicted offence-supportive cognitions, and vice versa, having controlled for offence history, and Full-Scale IQ, but this was not the case for empathy or moral development. While the findings require replication, interventions which aim to modify attention bias with this population should be tested.
