What
is the navigational capacity of the mind to do something bad? What triggers
negative values? These are some questions we often ask when we observe someone
who is into something hideous and is not capable of feeling remorse.
Guilt
is concerned with the negative evaluation of a specific behavior which motivates
the person to engage in reparative behavior by making apologies and engaging in
attempts to fix the situation. Shame, which is typically characterized by a
negative evaluation of the self leads to submission and avoidance and sometimes
hostility and retaliation.
But
are there instances when guilt and shame are NOT PRESENT in the person?
Early
conceptualizations of shame and guilt claimed that shame is a public experience
(caused by the reactions of others) while guilt is a private experience (caused
by internal conflict about morality) (Ausubel, 1955).
Psychopathy
is one of the so-called ‘dark triad’ traits (alongside narcissism and Machiavellianism).
It's characterized by superficial charm, impulsivity, extreme confidence (and
low anxiety) and cold-heartedness. Those last two features in particular could
no doubt contribute to a lack of shame.
The
term "psychopath" is used to describe someone who is callous,
unemotional, and morally depraved. It is often used in clinical and legal
settings to refer to someone who often is egocentric, antisocial, lacking
remorse and empathy for others.
These
tendencies have been linked to early childhood experiences, including
maltreatment, rejection, and lack of parental affection, however, the exact
causes are not well-understood (Morin, 2022).
Is
this some kind of insanity?
Psychopathy
is a mental disorder according to both the Wakefield definition and American
Psychiatric Association criteria (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).
Ergo,
treatment is a must since these people are threats to the society.
