UBC experts were quoted in a Georgia Straight article on advances in neuroscience that shed light on the nature of psychopathy.
UBC professor emeritus Robert Hare, one of the leading researchers in the area, emphasized in his work that psychopaths aren’t always violent and that in fact there are many to be found in the top ranks of corporations, where they can cause chaos.
Research led by UBC associate psychology professor Michael Woodworth also found that the language of psychopathic murderers makes fewer references to social needs relating to family and friends.
