Antisocial Personality Disorder01:24

Antisocial Personality Disorder

192
Antisocial personality disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by persistent patterns of disregard for the rights and well-being of others. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder exhibit behaviors that include deceitfulness, impulsivity, irresponsibility, aggression, and a profound lack of empathy. These traits often manifest early in life and persist into adulthood, leading to significant personal, social, and legal consequences.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.5K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality01:27

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

1.1K
The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

Introduction to Personality Psychology

18.0K
Personality encompasses a set of enduring traits and behavioral patterns that define how individuals think, feel, and interact, ultimately shaping their unique identities. The concept of personality has deep historical roots, deriving from the Latin term "persona," which means "mask." This term initially referred to the roles played by actors in ancient theater, signifying the different facets individuals display in various contexts.

Cattell's 16 Personality Factors

1.4K
Raymond Cattell's trait theory offers a structured framework for understanding personality by distinguishing between two critical traits: surface and source traits. Surface traits are observable patterns of behavior, such as indecisiveness, anxiety, and irrational fears. These traits are less stable, varying across situations and over time. This means that they are less helpful in understanding the deeper aspects of an individual's personality.
In contrast, source traits are the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cyberpsychology
  • Digital Forensics

Background:

  • Digital communication platforms facilitate antisocial, manipulative, and emotionally detached behaviors.
  • Psychopathy is well-studied clinically and forensically, but its digital form, cyberpsychopathy, lacks a clear definition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize empirical research on psychopathy and aversive personality traits in online contexts.
  • To identify key conceptual domains of cyberpsychopathy.
  • To propose a preliminary definition of cyberpsychopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across five databases.
  • Inclusion of 35 peer-reviewed studies.
  • Application of a biopsychosocial framework and thematic synthesis.

Main Results:

  • Identified six interrelated domains: online behaviors, online environments, sociodemographic factors, personality traits, psychological factors, and motivations.
  • These domains interact to shape the online manifestation of psychopathic tendencies.
  • Most studies were of moderate-to-high methodological quality, with some variability.

Conclusions:

  • Cyberpsychopathy is proposed as a multidimensional construct reflecting aversive traits amplified by digital affordances and psychological vulnerabilities.
  • A foundational framework for understanding cyberpsychopathy is established.
  • Highlights the need for empirical validation and development of digital assessment tools.
