I thought that sociopaths and psychopaths behave identically. The difference is that one was born that way while bad life experiences made the other that way.

- cannonedhamster 7y agoNo, but there's definitely been a muddying of the definitions so it's understandable. Sociopaths actually have a purpose in society. Psychopaths are a detriment. Sociopaths can be very good and productive members of society. There's evidence to suggest that it's both a gene that needs to be present as well as the correct conditions during upbringing to trigger it.
