Which of the following is NOT typically a feature of antisocial personality disorder?

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is characterized by a pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others. Individuals with this disorder often exhibit a range of specific features, including a propensity for criminal behavior, a profound lack of empathy, and a notable absence of remorse for their actions.

High levels of empathy are generally not associated with individuals who have ASPD. Empathy involves the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, which is usually compromised in those with this disorder. They may demonstrate emotional detachment and fail to recognize or care about the emotional states of others, leading to their harmful behaviors without guilt or concern for the consequences.

In contrast, the other features listed—proneness to criminal behavior, disregard for the rights of others, and lack of remorse—are core characteristics of ASPD that reflect its severe impact on interpersonal relations and societal norms.
