UBCO research on unhappy psychopaths

Castanet featured research from UBC’s Okanagan campus that examined the connection between psychopathy and an unhappy life.

The study by UBCO psychology professor Mark Holder assessed the well-being of 450 undergrad students and determined their level of psychopathy.

“The more traits individuals share with psychopaths, the less well-being they display, and the more ill-being (depression) they exhibit,” Holder said of the study’s results. “Psychopaths tend to be really unhappy people.”
