Continua outperform dichotomies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Mealey's data do not support her dichotomous model of primary and secondary sociopathy; this data supports the view that there is a continuum of degrees of sociopathy, from zero to the maximal manifestation. There are multitudes of factors that can contribute to sociopathy – from both genetic and environmental sources – and the countless different mixes of them can produce multiple degrees and variations of sociopathic behavior.
