Psychopathic Behaviors
There are an incredible amounts of small nuances in the way people talk that can reveal information they might have withheld, without their knowledge. When recounting events the day of a crime, those with personality disorders, such as psychopathy or sociopathy, tend to focus more on numbers and quantifiable details than normal people. As well, psychopaths tend to focus more on what they did that day, extraneous details like what they ate, or what they felt, as they cannot form empathetic bonds with others. Speech patterns are different too, as psychopaths are forced to create separate emotions to explain what they feel. Psychopaths are actually very interesting in how they recall details and I feel as though it would be very easy for them to pass as someone who is always aware of their surroundings. Do you think you would be able to pick out a psychopath?

This is very interesting. I did not know about a lot of things you said. I do not think I would be able to pick out a psychopath unless I studied their traits and there were clear signs shown.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I definitely agree with Nolan. It's so interesting how much people have actually studied these kinds of behaviors and how they can differentiate these type of people from someone "normal". I know for a fact that I would not be able to distinguish them.
