Abstract	There is an acknowledged lack of research directly investigating the role of gender differences in affective functioning among Polish psychopathic offenders. The authors have responded by producing a study that attempts to advance the understanding of affective deficits in female psychopathy. Its aim is to examine the relationship between psychopathy and empathy in a group of incarcerated women. A multifaceted construct of empathy consisting of two components – emotional and cognitive – was applied in the study. The sample was composed of fifty-two female offenders aged from twenty to fifty-four from prisons in Kraków (Nowa Huta) and Kielce. The research tools deployed were Hare’s Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). The statistical analysis that was conducted confirmed the existence of a statistically significant negative relationship between psychopathy and empathy. It was found that psychopathic personality was related to the emotional – but not the cognitive – aspect of empathy, that the traits associated with the interpersonal-affective factors of psychopathy coexisted with low levels of personal distress, that – as interpreted by the independent t test – the presence of certain psychopathic features caused differences in the level of empathy and that psychopathic groups of offenders could be distinguished from non-psychopathic ones by their general empathy level and by their scores on the Personal Distress Sub-Scale of the IRI.
