Antisocial personality disorder evaluation with the prisoner's dilemma.

        INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to evaluate cooperation problems in antisocial disorder with the prisoner's dilemma game, which, in mathematical game theory, is the paradigm of the <NON-ZERO> games (mutual benefit from cooperation). METHODS: We have designed a computer version of the prisoner's dilemma (CDT-BD) that confronts the patient to a simulation of a reciprocal exchange situation. IPDE provided us a categorical and dimensional evaluation of 26 controls from the community and 40 methadone patients. Only methadone patients obtained an antisocial diagnosis: 20 in the category of positive antisocial and 10 in the probable antisocial category. Patients also fulfilled TCI and MACH-IV. RESULTS: CDT-BD is, according to the parent's opinion (mothers), a good correlation of real life behavior. CDT-BD shows a statistically significant poorer cooperation of antisocial patients this is categorical evaluation (versus in controls) and in dimensional evaluation true both for variables that measure non-cooperation due to the patient's initiative and those as a response to the computer provocation. This may be due to a tendency of antisocials to use interchange situations <ZERO game>strategies (you win what the other player loses) instead of non-zero games strategies. Non-cooperative responses are correlated to high scores on the MACH-IV scale (manipulative behavior and cognition) and revengeful in Treatment and Character Inventory (TCI). CONCLUSIONS: CDT-BD allows us to generate and test new hypotheses on the causes of the cooperation problems in antisocial patients using game theory paradigms.
        Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los problemas de cooperación de los pacientes antisociales, usando el "dilema del prisionero", paradigma en la teoría matemática de juegos del grupo de juegos llamados "no suma cero" (mutuo beneficio en la cooperación). Métodos.Para ello diseñamos una versión del test deldilema por ordenador para la evaluación de los trastornos de conducta (TDO-TC) que pusiera al paciente en una simulación del prisionero por ordenador para un intercambio recíproco. Se valoró la presencia de trastornos de personalidad dimensional y categorialmente con la entrevista International Parmality Disorders Examination (IPDE ) en 26 controles de la comunidad y en 40 pacientes de un programa de metadona. Sólo en el grupo de metadona se obtuvieron diagnósticos de trastorno de personalidad antisocial: 20 pacientes en grado de diagnóstico positivo y 10 en grado de diagnóstico probable. Los pacientes también rellenaron el Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) y el MACH- IV. Se correlacionaron resultados con conducta en la vida real. Resultados. El TDO-TC es según familiares (madres) de los pacientes un reflejo fiel de la conducta real. A nivel estadisticamente significativo el TDO-TC muestra menor cooperación en la valoración categorial (versus controles) y dimensional del trastorno antisocial, ya sea para variables que miden no cooperación por iniciativa del paciente o como respuesta a una provocación del ordenador. Esto se debe probablemente al uso en esta situación de estrategias propias de juegos tipo "suma cero" (el beneficio de un jugadores a costa de las pérdidas del otro). Las respuestas nocooperadoras se asocian a altas puntuaciones en las escalas MACH-IV (conducta y actitudes manipulativas o maquiavélicas) y ser vengativo en el TCI. Conclusiones. El TDO-TC nos permite generar y verificar nuevas hipótesis sobre el origen de los problemas de cooperación en los pacientes antisociales a partir de la teoría de juegos.
