Research Proposal
Are
psychopaths a result of bad parenting or society molded them?
Psychology behind
psychopaths.
"Fact: A psychopath is born
every 47 seconds.” Kent A. Kiehl stated.
One might think that a psychopath is that one person that we see often in
movie. The villain who kill for joy, who use others in the rottenest way, a
person with no reasoning. The truth about psychopath is not even close to that
image that we have. Most psychopaths are close to normal people with a normal
life but with a disorder. A mental disorder that yet haven't be found the
reason for it. Most of the studies made by professionals have come to one
conclusion. Psychopaths are not easy to identify and most of them have been
abused when they were kids. No all but a portion of them had been victims of
child abuse. Also some say that is genetics combine with personal factors, is
being said that if a psychopath has a kid his kid is more likely to become a
psychopath because of its genes. But
what is a psychopath? a person suffering from
chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior. An unstable
and aggressive person. Psychopathy is a disorder that is very hard to examine
and has been a big issue to doctor to find with exactitude a person that
suffers from this disorder because there are other disorder that are related to
it. Specialist define psychopaths as a person with a psychopathic personality, which
manifests as amoral and antisocial behavior, lack of ability to love or
establish meaningful personal relationships, extreme egocentricity, failure to
learn from experience. A psychopath can
also be charming and chill, it can play to be a person just like the other in
order for him to succeed in his “mission”. They are coolheaded people with very
short control of their behavior, even though they are considered dangerous
people and are more likely to become criminals, statistics show that psychopath
are not a big portion when in come to crime. This leads us to questions such
as, are psychopath born like that or modeled by society or environment? Why are
women less likely to be detected with psychopathy? Difference between
sociopaths and psychopaths, which one is most dangerous?
The
purpose of this research of to inform people about psychopath, what are they
and how our vision from them can vary depending on the person. Also the
difference between psychopaths and sociopath because they have so many similarities
people often confused them and make the wrong judgment. To make sure people
understand why psychopaths turn into one and how their past, environment and
biology effects them. The difference between a female psychopath and a male psychopath
and why most psychopaths are man. Not only this factors are to be pronounce in
this research paper also why they are so good at not being identify by a common
person. The different test that are made in order for doctor to identify them.
All this will be proving by books like “without conscience” by Robert D. Hare.
PhD. And articles like “The reappearing psychopath: Psychopathy's stain on
future generations” by Jack Pemment.” Associations among early abuse,
dissociation, and psychopathy in an offender sample.” by the data base of PsycARTICLES.
This are few of the articles and books that I will be using to make my research
paper more efficient and with a more valid point.
The
layout of this research paper will be in APA still font 12, double spacing and Times
New Roman fonts with double space. It will be separated into different section
starting with and introduction in which the list of topic will be put in order
and also the thesis that we are answering will be put inside the introduction.
An understandable definition of the word “psychopath” will also be provided.
Each topic will be brake down into smaller topic and supported with evidence
and data. At the end of each topic discuss it tide up making a relation to the
thesis and the other topics that are being discuss. Some illustration might be
used if needed to be use. The research paper will not be only focus on the reasons
of why a psychopath becomes one, it will also include a deep understanding of
it, differences between male and female psychopaths, and more interesting
details. The length can vary depending on how much information will be omitted
for the sake of not moving the attention from the central idea. There will be
also some part that will be analyze for a deeper understanding.
