- Psychopathy and Sociopathy are both anti-social personality disorders.
- Both are a result of an interaction between genetic predispositions and environmental factors
- Psychopaths are born with temperamental differences e.g. impulsivity, fearlessness, risk-seeking behaviour and inability to internalise social norms
- Sociopaths have are born with relatively normal temperaments; their personality disorder being more an effect of negative sociological factors e.g. parental neglect, delinquent peers, poverty, extremely low/high intelligence
- In both cases, anti-social personality disorder results in extremely violent acts
