Some people might be able to thrive because of—not despite—having relatively high levels of psychopathic traits. CraigHarper19 explains why.
. People with psychopathic traits may also be more likely to take risks and to be more confident and decisive, which can be valuable qualities in certain careers or situations.
These ideas were recently investigated by a team of psychologists led by Louise Wallace, a lecturer in at the University of Derby . The researchers reviewed data from 18 published studies of psychopathy, and were looking for things that might associate psychopathy with positive outcomes, rather than the negative issues reported within the traditional literature.What they found was particularly interesting. Writing in their paper, Wallace and colleagues suggest:
The combination of fearless dominance and affective-interpersonal traits , which are more consistently associated with success, but an absence of impulsivity and an erratic lifestyle...could suggest that moderate levels of psychopathy could enable an individual to become more successful, but extremely high levels could be detrimental to successful outcome.
That said, the concept of successful psychopathy highlights the ways in which individuals with psychopathic traits may be able to achieve success in society. It represents an exciting development in the psychological literature on psychopathy, describing how psychopathic traits may be associated with certain advantages in certain situations.
