          Spotting Corporate Psychopaths

          Research sheds light on how to identify and manage individuals termed 'corporate psychopaths' within the business realm. These individuals, making up roughly 1% of adults, lack emotions such as guilt or empathy but often rise to leadership positions due to their charismatic traits.

          Psychopaths Remain Just as Bad, or Worse, as They Age

          While most people mellow with age, this does not appear to be the case for those with ASPD or psychopathy. Researchers report maladaptive behaviors associated with ASPD often get worse as people with the personality disorder age.

          Psychopaths Are More Likely to Have a Larger Striatum

          Neuroimaging study reveals those with psychopathy have a 10% larger striatum than non-psychopaths. Researchers say the increased size of the striatum, a brain area associated with cognitive and social functions, may account for a higher likelihood of impulsive behaviors and increased need for stimulation often associated with psychopathy. Additionally, researchers suggest there may be an element of heredity in the neural anatomy, adding support to the neurodevelopmental perspective of psychopathy.

          Psychopaths Can Feel Emotions and Can Be Treated

          Contrary to popular belief, those suffering from psychopathy are able to experience emotions, but they do have a blunted emotional response if their attention is directed toward something else. In essence, psychopaths feel emotions, but ignore them if they feel they might interfere with attaining personal goals.

          Bullies, Thieves and Chiefs: The Hidden Cost of Psychopaths at Work

          It is estimated that 1% of the general population has psychopathic traits. Among the upper echelons of corporations, up to 3.5% of employees are psychopathic, with the percentage rising for those who are chief executives. Researchers investigate how those with psychopathic traits impact the workplace for other employees, and how corporate psychopaths end up costing the economy billions of dollars due to their unethical behaviors.

          How people with psychopathic traits control their ‘dark impulses’

          Neuroimaging reveals 'successful' psychopaths (those who can control their antisocial tendencies) have greater levels of gray matter density between the left and right ventromedial prefrontal cortex. This area of the brain is implicated in self-regulatory processes, including reactive emotions.

Researchers say their findings provide evidence that those with higher psychopathic traits may be better at learning to lie.
