This is not saying it is debatable, it is politely saying it is almost definitely wrong, but still popular.

- mewpmewp2 2y agoIt still seems like it could be correlated, but it shouldn't be used as a diagnostic measure or taken as a sign of something. It's more likely to be a sign of abusive parenting, but abusive parenting is also correlated with the psychopath behavior so it all ends up being correlated with each other.

- farts_mckensy 2y agoNot proven ≠ Wrong It's true, a direct link hasn't been proven, and I was debating even mentioning that. Obviously that specific tendency alone isn't indicative of a homicidal individual. But I would speculate that it has something to do with dysfunction/dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system.
- svnt 2y agoYes, but that is the absence of evidence, commonly called on when the science hasn't been done. If a theory/hypothesis remains not proven once the science has been repeatedly done in numerous attempts to prove it, very often it does mean it is wrong.
- farts_mckensy 2y agoA mere two studies are cited in the Wikipedia quote you supplied as evidence of the supposed wrongness of the hypothesis.
- svnt 2y agoWikipedia is not often referenced in literature reviews as an exhaustive source of relevant studies.
- hirvi74 2y agoThat is what I meant by the word debatable. I was trying to politely imply it's bullshit like 95% of psychology.
