dc.abstract.enCognitive processes underlying inferences regarding inferring mental states (i.e. intentionality ascription) are still to be investigated. To assess how people accumulate social cues in order to attribute intentionality, a measure of gaze transition entropy (GTE) seems indicated to throw some light on these processes. Violent behavior is associated with distorted attributional processes but also with deficiencies in attention to socially relevant cues. Therefore, the current study compared the level of entropy between both violent male and female offenders and non-offenders and explore the association between GTE and ascribing intentionality. The sample (N = 128) consisted of violent inmates (N = 63, 31 women) and adults living in the community (N = 65, 31 women). Lower entropy characterized violent offenders to a greater extent as compared to those with no history of volent crimes. Moreover, lower entropy predicted greater intentionality ascription especially in judging ambiguous and hostile harmful events but only in the violent offender group. Findings imply that hostile attributions in violent offenders not only depend on a predisposition to interpret external reality in a hostile manner but can be the result of an inferential processing based on insufficient and incomplete information.
