Is sociopathy a type or not? Will the “real” sociopathy please stand up?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
The validity of the classification of “primary sociopaths” as a qualitatively distinct group in the general population is questioned. Cenetic variation in the experience and expression of emotions may play a role in the development of antisocial behavior. However, research clearly documents that socialization environments powerfully modify the expression of genetic biases in a manner that increases or decreases the risk for “sociopathy.”
