Sociopathic traits linked to non-compliance with mask guidelines and other COVID-19 containment measures
New research from Brazil has found that people who are unconcerned with adhering to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 tend to display higher levels of traits associated with antisocial personality disorder, also known as sociopathy. The findings have been published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.

Well, sociopathy takes many forms. Can I defend it a bit? Sociopaths are inordinately represented amongst CEOs for example. I think it is because they are able to make “Tough decisions,” “Play hardball” with competitors, take strong actions internally including saying “You’re Fired!” on a regular basis which is sometimes necessary in our competitive economy.
“Execution” is a big thing in business, and is the BIG SECRET in my opinion as to why Trump has been so successful in KEEPING HIS PROMISES. (Politicians are all talk!)
Sociopaths also help out a lot in the more violent professions, from military to meat packer to surgeon.
Not all sociopaths are serial killers, or even pathological liars. Many are just “Cold-blooded.”
Of course they are also WELL REPRESENTED in POLITICS and CRIME.
FWIW, I am against weaponizing the artificial descriptions and diagnostic criteria invented by the psychiatric profession.
NOTE: Everyone has psychology.
