#an INFURIATING amount of research is based on either observers' perceptions and assumptions about observable behaviors #or it's done using scales/questionnaires/shit with discrete categories #and don't get me wrong. scales and inventories and shit even self reports can absolutely be useful a #but the focus on external observable behavior in the field has caused. so many issues that still persist #but it's especially problematic with antisocial traits (incl psychopathic traits i just hate that term <3)#for so many reasons #like if you look at interviews the cold unfeeling remorseless monster idea falls apart SO fucking fast #i don't usually post abt my. hyperfixation researching but i'm just. so fucking mad i'm SO mad #resurrecting cleckley so i can kill him again myself ^_^#and manifesting an imminent and painful death for hare. god bless #i'm so fucking mad #girl help my career field is full of idiots who lack basic human compassion #and im not talking abt the so-called psychopaths lmfao #uhhhhhh #does this need a tw
