Psychopathy is a mental disorder which can cause an individual to have behavior seen not normal to society. It causes the individual to be antisocial towards others, and they can become egocentric (Richell, Mitchell, Newman, Leonard, Baron-Cohen, Blair, 2003). Primary psychopathy and secondary psychopathy both show the traits of being impulsive, angry and very antagonistic however secondary psychopathy also shows the individual to have social anxiety, doubt themselves and to have swings in their emotions often which is unseen in primary psychopaths (Ali Chamorro-Premuzic, 2010). Cognitive empathy is someone’s ability to be able to relate to another individuals emotions and their mental state (Ali Chamorro-Premuzic, 2010). Cognitive empathy and psychopathy are related as someone who is a psychopath has few emotions and therefore will not show empathy, we are investigating to what extent psychopaths show a lack of cognitive empathy. We are conducting this experiment to see if our results are similar or different to previous studies.
