As I understand the concept, it would make sense someone growing up in a position without control over their day to day whatsoever could eventually dull any empathy and emotion as a protective measure plus figure out ways in which they can manipulate situations to obtain control.
What do you mean when you say sociopath? Afaik that’s not a diagnosis that’s used in psychology anymore (if it ever was? The difference between psychopaths and sociopaths was never clear to me). I believe it’s called anti-social personality disorder now.
Yep the antisocial personality disorder.
I was taught that is another term for Psychopathy. There is a bunch of overlap between the two yet a psychopath is born and a sociopath is created, so maybe the term covers both classifications.
I think it’s very much environmental.
I don’t believe in “psychopaths.”
There’s a few research papers which identify psychopaths have different autonomic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system controls the flight or flight response. The difference found in psychopaths nervous system results in a complete dulling of this function. Meaning they dont get stressed which explains how they can lie and a lie detector can’t pick it up. Psychopaths need to have a running history from birth until the early teens years of certain traits whereas a sociopath would be more inline with the classic “they were a great kid until they starting hanging with the wrong crowd”.
Here is a solid breakdown of the differences of you’re curious: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=6dv8zJiggBs
You sure? I heard that it was all debunked, but I could be wrong.
That’d be news to me but science is always making discoveries and assess previous discoveries. If you have a link I’d like to see it.
