Psychopathy and Crimes Against Humanity

in epistem •  3 years ago 

The researchers had access to over 100 members of Pinochet's armed forces convicted and incarcerated for crimes against humanity. They tested these men using the PCL-R and found that not only was the average psychopathy score similar to that of a typical prison population (i.e. they had significantly higher rates of psychopathy than the general population); these men scored particularly high on the interpersonal/affective facets of psychopathy. That is, they had highly psychopathic personalities, even though their antisocial/lifestyle scores were on average lower than the general prison population. Their scores conformed to the "conning/manipulative" subtype of psychopathy.
