In addition to the Cognitive Complexity subscale of the BIS-11, the psychopathy component, Blame Externalization also predicted a drop in performance when participants were required to inhibit their responses as governed by the alternation rule, which corresponds to an increased load on executive functions when compared to the standard Go/No-go task. Similar to the current finding Sadeh & Verona (2008) reported a negative correlation between the PPI-R subscale Blame Externalization and working memory performance under high cognitive load in a working memory task. Additionally, previous research has reported a positive association between the concept of disinhibition and the Blame Externalization subscale, highlighting its importance for inhibitory ability (Drislane, Patrick, & Arsal, 2014) and mirroring its conceptualization as part of the PPI-R factor Impulsive Antisociality (Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005).
