The Dark Triad Traits and Their Association with Psychopathy

In this chapter, the hosts discuss the traits associated with the 'dark triad' and how they are commonly used to define a psychopath. They emphasize that the dark triad traits are not a diagnosis but rather an accepted definition. They also talk about the importance of using person-first language when discussing psychopathy and sociopathy, as not using it can dehumanize individuals. The hosts mention that some of the traits associated with psychopathy may be inherent, while others may be a result of experiences. They also explore how these traits tie into the behaviors of serial killers and the desire for attention and notoriety.
