RE: Who are psychopaths? Psychological research and theories about the emergence of psychopaths
60% hereditary huh? Interesting. I would have thought it to be the opposite - 60% environmental. Attachment trauma can impact the development of the brain in early childhood, however, which may contribute to the frontal lobe issue.
I know early childhood neglect, in many ways, is far more damaging than any other types of abuse. Although I would strongly disapprove if this happened, I wonder how easy it would be to purposely raise a child to be a psychopath. I also wonder if there are certain cultures that breed more psychopathology than other cultures. Food for thought.
Hello! It is important to note that inheritance and childhood abuse are both needed in order to report psychopathy. If the third knee had a tendency toward psychopathy, it can happen to a person if she/he is abused and neglected in childhood. According to data provided by the FBI, 86% of serial killers are from America.Why is America the "cradle" of such monstrous crimes? Here's what David Scieme says:
" We collect their photos, dirty clothes, a nail snake ... We follow the trials, we listen to the victims on the news. We spend hours and hours watching movies and programs that talk about their life and work, we read hundreds of best-selling books about them, although we know the outcome even before we open them. We do this because we resist the idea that these figures, so familiar and so common in America, were similar to us at all. "
